Started in a pandemic.
Built for the long game.
Founded in June 2020, CyberForce Global set out with a clear conviction: to help early-stage startups secure elite GTM and R&D talent without burning critical runway. We launched amidst global lockdown because we knew that the acceleration of Cyber Security and AI wasn't just a temporary surge. It was the foundation of the future enterprise.
Six years, one niche.
We work alongside founders, board directors, investors and C-level teams to understand exactly what a start-up needs to succeed — then go find the person with that DNA. Our niche is AI, cybersecurity, fintech and infrastructure companies building their commercial function for the first time. AI is at the centre of almost everything we work on today, from AI-native security platforms to agentic AI startups redefining how enterprises operate.
A-players are the whole game now.
The market has shifted fast, and the bar has shifted with it. True A-players — the top 1% who can build a category from a standing start — are in more demand than we've ever seen, and the cost of getting a first critical hire wrong has never been steeper. This is our game, and our passion. Our network isn't cold outreach — it's built on real relationships with proven professionals genuinely connected to the CISOs who matter, people who've delivered major success before and are ready to do it again with the right partner. That's what turns a search from a gamble into a reliable, fast, first-time-right hire.

A small part of some very big stories.
We don't build the product. We don't write the term sheet. But the founding sales leader who signed the first ten enterprise logos, the first SE who built the demo that closed the Series B — that's often where we came in. 50+ of the companies we've built founding teams for have gone on to be acquired, by CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, 1Password and others. We don't take credit for the outcome. We're proud of the part we played getting there.
