Case Study
CyVolve
How QZM unified scattered pilot programme data and competitive intelligence to support a successful acquisition by a NASDAQ company during investment rounds.
From Fragmented Data to Investment-Ready Intelligence
CyVolve had developed groundbreaking technology but faced the classic startup challenge: proving market potential to investors whilst managing multiple pilot programmes and competitive pressures.
Innovation
CyOS data management operating system with hierarchical encryption and AI analytics
Market Position
Forward-thinking data security provider offering persistent security across varied platforms
Stage
Pre-revenue with multiple pilot companies testing software
Competition
Numerous independent companies developing similar data security solutions
The Data Fragmentation Challenge
CyVolve’s complex ecosystem included developers, testers, management, and investor advisors, all needing visibility into pilot performance, product development progress, competitive landscape, and market feedback. But critical data lived in disconnected departmental silos, with each team tracking their own metrics in isolation. Without unified intelligence, no one could see how technical progress connected to pilot success or market position. CyVolve needed one source of truth where all stakeholders could analyse the complete story and demonstrate investment readiness.
Pilot Programme Data Chaos
Performance metrics, feedback, and progress reports from multiple pilot companies stored in separate tracking systems with no unified view of overall programme success
Internal Competitive Research Isolation
Competitor tracking and market positioning research maintained in separate spreadsheets, disconnected from pilot performance and development progress
Development Metrics Isolation
Technical progress, development costs, and milestone achievements tracked independently from business operations and pilot results
Financial Data Disconnection
Burn rate analysis, development expenditure, and operational costs managed in separate spreadsheets with no integration to pilot programme ROI
Investor Presentation Complexity
Due diligence preparation required manual compilation from multiple sources, creating incomplete picture for potential acquirers
QZM’s Data Solution
QZM unified CyVolve’s scattered data across all teams and pilot programmes into one intelligent platform, creating the single source of truth needed for investment due diligence.
Pilot Programme Integration
Connected all pilot company tracking systems, feedback platforms, and performance metrics into unified dashboard showing real-time programme status
Competitive Research Integration
Connected internal competitor tracking spreadsheets and market research to unified platform, providing competitive context alongside operational metrics
Development & Operations Alignment
Integrated technical development progress with business operations, connecting milestone achievements to pilot programme outcomes
Financial Integration Platform
Connected financial tracking, burn rate analysis, and development costs with pilot programme investment to show complete business picture
Unified Intelligence Outcomes
Having all their data connected transformed how CyVolve operated and presented to investors. All stakeholders could finally see pilot performance, product progress, and competitive position in one place.
CyVolve could answer investor questions instantly with real-time dashboards instead of scrambling through spreadsheets and building PowerPoint graphs.
Pilot Programme Transparency
They could see all pilot company performance in real-time, which made it easy to show investors solid proof of market demand and product-market fit.
Competitive Context Integration
Their internal competitive research was now linked with actual operational data, giving them a complete picture of their market position to share in investor presentations.
Investment-Ready Business Intelligence
A complete business metrics platform that made their investor presentations look professional and helped speed up the whole due diligence process.
Operational Demonstration
Having all their data connected proved they weren’t just tech innovators but serious business operators who could scale successfully, a critical factor for investment decisions.
“Bringing all our data into one platform helped us see the bigger picture for the first time. When we were developing the product, implementing across different environments, and piloting with multiple companies, the unified view transformed our investor pitches. We could finally tell a complete, coherent story about our progress and market potential.”
— John Galinski, Former CTO
Strategic Outcome
Successful acquisition by NASDAQ company
From Data Chaos to Strategic Asset
CyVolve’s unified business intelligence platform demonstrated to investors that the company possessed not only groundbreaking cybersecurity technology but also sophisticated operational management and clear market validation through organised pilot programme data.
