## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2023 by its CPO, Bob Blakley, Mimic Networks, Inc., operates as a ransomware defense company. In February 2025, Mimic Networks, Inc. raised USD 50 million in series A funding co-led by new investors GV and Menlo Ventures, with participation from returning investors Ballistic Ventures, Team8 Capital, Wing, and Shield Capital. As of 2024, the company is led by its CEO, Derek Smith.  Mimic Networks offers a data leak prevention technology platform, which is a SaaS platform that detects and deflects ransomware attacks before they can impact critical assets. The firm's attack-resistant technology identifies and subverts cyber-attacks and automatically restores that data. The company plans to use the February 2025 funding to enhance its enterprise ransomware defense platform, expand its reach, and introduce new capabilities for simulating ransomware impacts.
