I am a general partner at TechOperators and have a conflict of interest, disclosed on my user page. The article has not been substantively updated since 2021 and several facts are out of date. I am requesting the changes below, each with a source. I have not edited the article myself.
1. Lead sentence. Change "focused on cybersecurity and B2B software" to "focused on cybersecurity". Source: the firm's website, which describes its focus as cybersecurity.[1]
2. Infobox, key people. Replace the list with:
- Tom Noonan, General Partner
- Kevin Skapinetz, General Partner
- Daniel Ingevaldson, General Partner
- Said Mohammadioun, Managing Partner
- Glenn McGonnigle, Investor Relations
- Tom McNeight, Vice President
Bill Jones and Patrick Taylor are no longer with the firm. Source: the firm's team page.[2] Skapinetz joined as general partner in November 2024.[3]
3. Company overview, second sentence. Change "is now investing out of its third fund" to "is now investing out of its fourth fund".
4. Company overview, check size. Change "provides early stage capital financing from under $1m to $5 million" to "invests at the pre-seed and seed stages, and occasionally at Series A". Source: the firm's website.[4]
5. Company overview, last sentence. Remove "TechOperators takes an active role in their investments providing not only investment capital, but also applying their operational knowledge." It has carried a citation-needed tag since 2021 and is promotional.
6. Team section. Remove the Bill Jones entry. Change the Daniel Ingevaldson entry to read: "Daniel Ingevaldson — General Partner. Co-founder of Endgame, Inc., acquired by Elastic NV in 2019." (existing ref 2). Add: "Kevin Skapinetz — General Partner. Previously GM/VP and co-founder of IBM Security." (ref in item 2). Add: "Tom McNeight — Vice President. Former CEO of GuardedNet and senior vice president of sales at Internet Security Systems." Source: the firm's team page (ref in item 2).
7. Funds and Investments, later exits. Add the sentence: "Later portfolio outcomes include BrightPoint Security, acquired by ServiceNow in 2016;[5] Flashpoint, in which Audax Private Equity took a majority stake in 2021;[6] Polarity, acquired by ThreatConnect in 2024;[7] Phylum, whose technology was acquired by Veracode in 2025;[8] and Evo Security, acquired by Barracuda Networks in 2026.[9]"
8. Funds and Investments, current portfolio. Add: "In April 2025 the firm led a $5.6 million seed round in Amplifier Security,[10] and in April 2026 it led a $19 million seed round in Spectrum Security."[11][12]
