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 had created sophisticated cybersecurity technology and was managing multiple pilot programmes with companies testing their CyOS platform. However, as they prepared for investment rounds in a competitive landscape with many independent companies offering similar solutions, their business data was scattered across disconnected systems.
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 Unification Approach
QZM implemented a unified data platform that connected CyVolve’s fragmented information systems, creating a single source of truth for all business operations, pilot programmes, and competitive intelligence.
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
The unified data platform provided CyVolve’s leadership team with comprehensive visibility they had never possessed before. For the first time, they could see the complete picture of their pilot programmes, competitive position, and business operations in one place.
This unified intelligence proved invaluable during investor presentations and due diligence processes, demonstrating not just innovative technology but sophisticated business management.
Pilot Programme Transparency
Complete real-time visibility into all pilot company performance, enabling clear demonstration of market validation and product-market fit to investors.

“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

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.
The comprehensive data platform supported CyVolve’s successful acquisition during investment rounds, providing investors with complete transparency into business operations and market potential.
