Founder notes

Hornet Raises $500K Seed Round

Hornet seed funding announcement

Hornet raised a $500K seed round led by Artha Venture Fund, marking a major step in the company’s move from early product validation to scale.

The milestone came after an intense operating phase: product development, sales, investor diligence, and financial uncertainty were all happening at once. The round gave Hornet the room to expand its crypto forensics and cybersecurity work with law-enforcement agencies, compliance teams, and digital-asset investigation workflows.

The LinkedIn announcement also credited the team, early supporters, Webel-BCC&I Tech Incubation Centre, and family support behind the company’s progress.
