Wire, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Germany, is an innovative player in the Cyber Security and Messaging sectors. As a secure messenger and collaboration platform, it serves organizations that cannot afford lapses in security, such as governments, critical infrastructure, and large enterprises. The platform differentiates itself by offering strong, always-on end-to-end encryption across messaging, voice, video, and file sharing.
The focus of Wire is to provide security and sovereignty where traditional collaboration tools fall short, using Messaging Layer Security standards. This ensures full data control without reliance on any provider's trust. Its flexible deployment options support EU cloud, private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped environments, catering to varied organizational needs.
The last major funding round was a €24.00M Series C investment on 12 August 2022, led by UVC Partners, Cipio Partners, and Iconical. With its robust security focus, Wire offers a compelling angle for investors eyeing the intersection of privacy and communication technology.
