Introduction

One 
of 
the 
Nine 
Finalists.

Arachne Digital is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as one of the nine finalists in the prestigious Future of Capitalism competition.

This recognition highlights our relentless commitment to delivering actionable cybersecurity solutions and redefining how organisations combat evolving threats.

Read the official announcement here.

On February 25, we will present our vision to a panel of expert judges, competing for up to $1 million USD in funding. This opportunity is more than a chance to secure investment, it is a platform to demonstrate how Arachne Digital is empowering organisations to identify and mitigate cyber risks effectively while fostering a safer digital future.

What Is the Future of Capitalism Competition?

The Future of Capitalism competition is a global initiative that identifies and invests in startups with both commercial potential and a focus on creating meaningful social impact. Each year, the competition culminates with selected finalists pitching their innovations for significant funding. In 2025, the stakes are as high as $1 million USD.

For Arachne Digital, being shortlisted is a milestone. It validates our mission to help organisations navigate an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape while amplifying the positive impact of our work. The competition also provides a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded innovators committed to solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

The Problem: The Cybersecurity Gap

Many organisations know cybersecurity is critical but struggle to understand their specific threats, the techniques used against them, and how to mitigate these risks. Without this clarity, they remain vulnerable to attacks that evolve faster than they can adapt.

Large cybersecurity providers often offer expensive tools but can fail to address the fundamentals: identifying relevant threats, mapping specific adversary techniques, and building practical defences. This lack of tailored solutions leaves organisations overwhelmed by complexity and unable to prioritise effectively.

The Solution: Empowering Organisations with Intelligence

Arachne Digital bridges the cybersecurity gap. We provide precise, actionable intelligence mapped to industry-standard frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. Our tools simplify decision-making, helping organisations focus on critical risks and to respond with confidence.

Arachne Digital strives to deliver more than data, we deliver intelligence. Our tools connect the dots between threat actors, their methods, and their targets, giving organisations the clarity they need to protect critical assets.

Tools like Thread transform unstructured data into actionable insights, mapping directly to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. This ensures security teams and decision-makers can quickly understand their risks and take informed actions.

Giving Back to the Open Source Community

The open source community is the backbone of innovation, and Arachne Digital is committed to giving back. We have pledged to actively support the projects we use by contributing financially or dedicating developer time to fix bugs and improve features.

We are also developing an “ethical use of open source” framework, which outlines steps organisations can take, such as contributing code or supporting maintainers financially, to make open source usage more equitable. By leading this movement, we aim to create a more sustainable and collaborative ecosystem that benefits everyone.

Supporting Vulnerable Organisations

Cyberattacks disproportionately impact organisations with small budgets, such as public education institutions, healthcare providers, and human rights nonprofits. To level the playing field, Arachne Digital waives fees for the base tier of our products for eligible customers, empowering them to protect critical operations without financial strain.

Access to robust cybersecurity tools should not be a privilege. By supporting these organisations, we are helping create a more resilient digital environment where everyone, regardless of resources, can stay secure.

What’s Next for Arachne Digital?

The Future of Capitalism competition is an opportunity to take our vision further. With additional investment, we aim to expand our capabilities, from integrating disinformation frameworks into Thread to enhancing how organisations use intelligence to predict and prevent attacks. We have a massive roadmap planned, and here is a sneak peek at some of it:

  • Enhanced Capabilities: Improved machine learning models and granular technique analysis.
  • Expanding Frameworks: Support for MITRE ATT&CK ICS, Mobile, ATLAS, and DISARM Framework, broadening its applications.
  • Seamless Integrations: Exporting mapped techniques to MISP and Sigma rules for streamlined workflows.
  • Security and Usability: Transitioning to memory-safe programming and refining the interface to ensure Thread is both secure and user-friendly.
