Visionary founder.
Five ventures.
One investment opportunity.

Seeking Seed & Pre-Seed investment for 5 companies.

I have spent 25+ years designing systems that must keep working when everything around them is hostile: banks, factories, power plants and military edge deployments. Now I am building five companies, and I am looking for the investors who want to build them with me.

The founder: 25+ years making critical systems hard to break.

I am Enrique Gallardo, a telecommunication engineer and OT/IT cybersecurity architect. My work is designing cloud, on-premises and industrial environments for the day when identities, devices, administrators, suppliers or whole network zones can no longer be trusted.

I build companies the same way: rediscover what the market has forgotten or never knew, redesign without blind trust, and build for resilience from day one.

European by career: I have worked in Spain, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland, in Spanish, English and German.

Why back this founder

Investors back people first. Here is what this one brings to each of the five companies.

Security by design

Products built by someone who has defended banks, factories, power plants and military edge systems. Trust is engineered in, not bolted on.

Regulation-ready

AI Act, NIS2, DORA, CRA and GDPR are daily work, not a future surprise. Compliance becomes a selling point instead of a delay.

International from day one

Two decades across four European countries and seven international firms, with the network and the languages that come with them.
