Liberty Global’s AI investment strategy

Liberty Global Tech Ventures is part of Liberty Growth, Liberty Global’s investment portfolio focused on scalable technology, media, sports, services and infrastructure. The Tech Ventures team invests in category-defining AI and technology businesses which operate in large markets with management teams who have proven ability to launch and commercialise products.

Cybersecurity is widely regarded as one of the most critical and fastest-growing areas of enterprise software, as AI increases both the sophistication of attacks and the need for automated, always-on defence.

Bobbie Maltiel, Partner at Liberty Tech Ventures said: “In an era where AI allows threat actors to weaponize vulnerabilities at machine speed, the only viable defense is a proactive offense. There isn’t a better team to tackle this challenge than the one who pioneered the AI coding revolution with GitHub Copilot, bringing unparalleled expertise in both how software is built and how it is secured.”

Oege de Moor, Founder and CEO, XBOW said: “Liberty Global has deep expertise in scaling technology businesses globally, and their commercial network will be vital as we enter our next phase of growth. With partners like them operating alongside us on the front lines, we’re accelerating our mission to stay ahead of AI attacks to defend the world together.”
