Liongard, a Texas-based provider of an IT environment protection platform, has raised $1.25m in seed funding.
Investors in the round included Richard Yoo, founder and former CEO of Rackspace, Jared Slosberg, founder of ProfitFuel (now Yodle), Station Houston Ventures, the venture arm of Station Houston, Gestalt Cybersecurity, and members of the Houston Angel Network, TiE Houston, UH Cougar Venture Fund, among others.
Founded in 2015, Liongard enables IT managed service providers (MSPs) to drive profitability, overcome talent shortages, and avoid cybersecurity disasters. It uses advanced automation to protect business environments of all sizes.
The company claims to solve the problem of unifying and maintaining system documentation for MSPs, who typically update system configuration details manually Its product, Roar, addresses the significant lack of visibility that currently plagues IT service providers according to the company.
Roar delivers accurate, and up-to-date documentation of IT asset details and metrics, including users, privileges, rules, expirations, and system-specific settings across cloud services, network devices, and on-premise targets to manage and protect their customers.
Roar’s automation claims to eliminate stale documentation, human errors, unnecessary manual logins and escalations between staff. The platform integrates with existing documentation platforms (CMDBs) to capture and update configuration details that are usually maintained manually and enables system discovery, documentation, change notification, and actionable alerting of misconfigurations.
“Managing systems across hundreds of customers and countless systems requires accurate and real-time information. Liongard’s platform addresses this head on, and makes Roar a critical component of any IT service providers’ toolbox,” said Richard Yoo.
The Company has partnered with ConnectWise and is a certified and supported integration. Liongard has focused their messaging toward top performers in the channel via MSP peer groups. The data Roar collects can be pushed directly into existing documentation platforms like ConnectWise Manage, which MSPs use to efficiently handle incidents and tickets.
