SecLevelAlpha announced today that it has secured angel investment from a group of local technology investors. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, the company stated that the funding will be used to support the development of its initial portfolio companies and establish its operations in Long Beach.
Investment Details
The funding round was led by Coastal Ventures, a Southern California investment group focused on early-stage technology companies, with participation from several individual investors with backgrounds in enterprise software and sustainable technology.
"We're pleased to have secured this initial funding from investors who share our vision for building technology companies with transformative potential," said Tyler Hill, CEO of SecLevelAlpha. "This capital will allow us to accelerate the development of our first portfolio companies and lay the groundwork for future growth."
Allocation Plans
The investment will be allocated across several key areas:
- Further development of TacticDev's enterprise security software platform
- Prototype refinement for BlueprintDynamics' infrastructure monitoring system
- Establishment of SecLevelAlpha's headquarters in downtown Long Beach
- Initial team expansion across both portfolio companies and the parent company
"Our investors were attracted to our unique approach to company building," said Tyler Hill. "Rather than simply investing in existing startups, we're creating ventures from the ground up with a focus on long-term sustainability and impact."
Portfolio Progress
SecLevelAlpha's initial portfolio companies have already made significant progress since the company's formation earlier this year.
TacticDev has developed a working prototype of its security monitoring platform and is in discussions with potential beta customers in the healthcare and financial services sectors.
BlueprintDynamics has completed initial testing of its sensor technology and is preparing for a demonstration of its infrastructure monitoring system later this month.
"This funding allows us to maintain our momentum and hit key development milestones for both portfolio companies. We're particularly excited about accelerating our hiring in engineering and product development."
Long Beach Commitment
A portion of the funding will be used to establish SecLevelAlpha's headquarters in downtown Long Beach, reinforcing the company's commitment to becoming part of the city's growing technology ecosystem.
"Long Beach offers the perfect environment for our company and our team," explained Tyler Hill. "We're excited to contribute to the city's emergence as a technology hub and to create high-quality jobs in the community."
Future Funding
While this angel round provides the capital needed for SecLevelAlpha's initial growth phase, the company anticipates raising additional funding in late 2025 or early 2026 to support expansion of its portfolio and scaling of its existing ventures.
"We're focused on executing our current plans and demonstrating the value of our approach," said Hill. "The results we achieve with this initial funding will position us well for future growth capital."
