Episode Description

The increase in ransomware attacks has accelerated the need for cybersecurity at smaller businesses, and Worklyn believes integrated service providers will be critical for such entities that lack the resources to protect themselves. They are committed to building a platform that acts as a one-stop-shop for integrated cybersecurity and managed IT services to help medium and small businesses meet increasingly intertwined cybersecurity and IT challenges.

Worklyn Partners is an industry-focused growth equity fund building a network of portfolio companies to form a one-stop-shop for cybersecurity and IT services. Led by founders Johnny Lieberman and Zack Miller, Worklyn is uniquely focused on overlooked companies in a booming and critical sector, and is dedicated to elevating cybersecurity and IT services for enterprises and organizations that lack all of the necessary in-house resources to go it alone. Backed by a diversified investor base and a network of operators with deep industry experience, Worklyn Partners joins the management teams of acquired companies to maximize support to and involvement with owners.
