TIN Capital Leads €2.25M Round in VirtualMetric to Solve Cybersecurity Telemetry Bottleneck
The Hague / Amsterdam, June 2, 2025 – VirtualMetric, a fast-rising innovator in Security Data Management, has raised €2.25 million in funding to tackle one of cybersecurity’s most costly bottlenecks: unmanageable telemetry. The round was led by specialist cybersecurity investor TIN Capital (Netherlands) together with Auriga Cyber Ventures (France), and will support VirtualMetric’s mission to reduce SIEM costs, streamline data pipelines, and boost operational efficiency.
​
“CISOs consistently tell us they’re overwhelmed by data volume and costs,” said Reinout vander Meûlen, Managing Partner at TIN Capital. “VirtualMetric’s unique capabilities, including its VMF3 data format, provide a powerful answer – enabling high-fidelity threat detection at scale and reduced complexity.”
​
The Problem: Exploding Telemetry, Rising Costs
Organizations are collecting more security data than ever before: logs, metrics, alerts – everything gets stored. But the volume has become nearly unmanageable, while storage and analysis costs continue to rise disproportionately. Large enterprises spend up to $10 million per year on their SIEM environments. [1]
​
And while cybersecurity budgets appear to rise year over year to match a fast-evolving threat landscape, they remain tightly constrained due to ballooning telemetry-related costs. As more budget is consumed by SIEM ingestion and data storage, less is left for innovation in detection and response.
​
VirtualMetric’s Solution: Smarter, Leaner Security Data
VirtualMetric empowers SOC teams to regain control over their telemetry environments. Its technology allows enterprises to route, filter, and shape data with precision – extracting more value from SIEM platforms like Microsoft Sentinel while reducing ingestion volumes by up to 90% and manual effort by 60%.
​
“We help security teams take back control,” said Jimmy Wind, Co-Founder and CEO of VirtualMetric. “With our solution, they can maximize SIEM performance, reduce spend, and improve detection – without being buried in noise or operational cost.”
​
For trusted MSSPs like Wortell Enterprise Security, global Security MSSP of the Year winner by Microsoft, the platform also unlocks automation and scalability – empowering service providers to onboard more clients without expanding their teams. “It enables us to increase our quality of service by removing a lot of manual processing and provide better options to our customers for log ingestion”, said Maarten Goet, Chief Threat Officer at Wortell and Microsoft Regional Director and MVP.
​
VirtualMetric integrates seamlessly with data platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Data Explorer, and Azure Blob Storage, allowing logs to be intelligently routed based on relevance and criticality. Its Write-Ahead Log (WAL) architecture ensures real-time, lossless data processing with full forensic integrity. “Our system delivers unmatched performance, processing vast telemetry streams in seconds,” added Yusuf Öztürk, Co-Founder and CTO of VirtualMetric.

Backing a Category Leader in the Making
“VirtualMetric combines deep technical know-how with clear market focus and sharp execution,” said William Lecat, Partner at Auriga Cyber Ventures. “The team is ISO27001 and SOC2 certified and perfectly positioned to lead the European market in Security Data Management.”
​
The funding will accelerate product development, expand the go-to-market team, and support customer deployments across Europe and beyond. “We’re scaling fast and hiring across roles to meet growing demand,” added Wind. “The telemetry challenge is global – and we’re just getting started. We’re building the foundation for the next generation of scalable, efficient, and secure cyber operations.”
