LiveDrop, a Dutch start-up specialising in secure offline data transfer, has raised $2.5m in an oversubscribed seed round.
The round was led by Value Creation Capital, with support from Secfund, Kadmos Capital, and existing backer Patronum Investment. Wi-Fi pioneer Cees Links was among the strategic angel investors.
Founded in 2021 in Eindhoven, LiveDrop’s software-based solution enables fast, secure, offline data transfer using optical encoding. It runs on standard hardware such as laptops and smartphones, and is designed to integrate seamlessly into mission systems—especially in defence and national security contexts.
The company is focused on the Defence & Security sector, but its technology also has applications in cybersecurity, healthcare, and secure consumer devices. Its dual-use approach positions it for both military and civilian markets.
The new funds will be used to scale deployment across defence, government, and civilian markets, and to accelerate international expansion.
LiveDrop CEO Patrick Moreu said, “The fact that this round was oversubscribed, and that both existing and new shareholders reaffirmed their commitment, is a powerful validation of our direction. The involvement of Secfund, Value Creation Capital, Kadmos Capital, and Wi-Fi pioneer Cees Links confirms the strength of our dual-use strategy and opens doors to broader deployment in NATO countries and beyond.”
