Kerr Ventures

Portfolio

Built two, sold two, backing others

Four companies, three different relationships, labelled honestly. We have been on the founder’s side of this table twice and taken both companies all the way to an exit, which is most of what we think we bring to the other side of it.

Founded & exited

Both built from nothing, both sold.

  • Security Journey

    Founded 2016 · Acquired by Level Equity, 2022 · Board member

    Security education for developers. Chris and Deb founded it together and bootstrapped it — no outside capital, ever — to an acquisition by Level Equity in 2022, at twenty-seven employees serving tens of thousands of monthly users. Chris still sits on the board.

  • Devici

    Founded · Acquired by Security Compass, 2025

    Threat modeling built for the developers who have to do it, rather than the auditors who ask for it. Acquired by Security Compass in May 2025.

Invested & advising

Other people’s companies, our capital and time.

  • Phoenix Security

    Angel investor

    Vulnerability management that connects what a scanner found to what an engineer should do about it on Monday.

  • ED4S

    Advisor

    Sustainability and ESG training for corporations and financial institutions, with 80,000+ people trained. The same problem Security Journey solved — custom education deployed at scale — in a different subject.
