UKON Raises Strategic Investment from Top Down Ventures

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — [December 1, 2025] — UKON today announced a strategic investment from Top Down Ventures, the MSP-focused venture firm backing the next generation of channel infrastructure. The investment strengthens UKON’s mission to deliver a modern cyber insurance marketplace where MSPs and insurance agents work together to protect clients, grow revenue, and move with speed.

Cyber insurance has become a frontline conversation for SMBs. Yet MSPs and agents still operate in disconnected workflows that slow decision-making and weaken protection. UKON closes that gap with a marketplace that turns technical risk into financial clarity and creates a direct path from insight to coverage.

“UKON was built to live at the intersection of cybersecurity and cyber insurance. MSPs identify the risk. Agents transfer the risk. For years, the channel has worked without a shared system,” said Matt Hightower, Chief Executive Officer of UKON. “UKON gives both sides one place where clarity is the default and protection moves faster. This investment accelerates our ability to support the channel where it matters most."

UKON’s marketplace is gaining rapid traction across the channel. The platform delivers financial-grade cyber risk reports clients understand, automated cyber and Tech E&O quoting from top carriers, embedded workflows for submissions and renewals, and client-ready intelligence that strengthens every coverage conversation. MSPs elevate their advisory role. Agents move from prospect to quote without friction. Clients gain confidence.

The investment comes during a period of accelerated momentum for UKON. The company recently expanded its channel reach through a new alliance with Pax8, giving MSPs across the Pax8 ecosystem a direct path to embed cyber insurance workflows into their day-to-day client relationships. The integration strengthens UKON’s role as the channel’s central point where risk identification meets coverage placement.

Last month, UKON also announced its partnership with CyberCert, giving MSPs a standardized way to validate a client’s security posture and streamline the path to coverage through the UKON marketplace. UKON is also collaborating with ScalePad on an upcoming Insurance Readiness Assessment designed to give MSPs a clearer path from security posture to coverage readiness. Together, these relationships strengthen UKON’s role as the channel’s central point where risk identification meets protection.

UKON has also expanded its education engine. The company recently launched Cyber Peace of Mind, a webinar series built to help MSPs and agents navigate modern cyber coverage, claims realities, and client readiness. The series complements Risk & Reward, UKON’s digital media hub that provides practical sales-enablement tools and cyber risk insights to help insurance agents and MSPs convert cyber risk into action.

Top Down Ventures sees UKON as a foundational component of the MSP and agent ecosystem. “UKON sits at the center of how cyber risk becomes financial protection,” said Joel Abramson, Managing Partner at Top Down Ventures. “MSPs and agents need a marketplace built for how they actually operate. UKON is building that marketplace with speed and precision.”

UKON continues to build the marketplace the channel has been waiting for: clear, fast, and designed for the people closest to the client.
