HiveSecure is launching its AI-driven private defense system, aimed at institutional clients, family offices, and sovereign entities, to combat digital warfare.
New York City, New York May 31, 2025 – The Hive Strategic Group LLC, a U.S. intelligence and capital firm, is launching HiveSecure, its main defense-tech division. They are also opening a $1 million USD Phase I funding round with a pre-money valuation of $4.5 million.
The firm is now listed on Wefunder, a regulated platform that allows both accredited and non-accredited investors to invest in early-stage U.S. startups.
HiveSecure is designed to address the critical need for governments, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals to protect their digital and physical assets in the face of AI warfare, decentralized threats, and geopolitical instability.
“This is not a fleeting trend but essential infrastructure,” said Cristian Rus, Founder & Managing Partner of Hive Strategic Group. “As threats become global and decentralized, defense must evolve to be smarter, not just bigger. HiveSecure provides that smarter defense.”
The Urgent Problem We’re Built to Solve
Cybercrime damages are predicted to exceed $10 trillion per year, and this is expected to increase in 2026 and beyond.
Nation-states are using AI, surveillance, and misinformation as weapons.
Institutions are burdened with disjointed, outdated, or excessively complex security systems.
High-net-worth individuals and private funds lack comprehensive, real-time risk intelligence.
HiveSecure: What We’re Building
HiveSecure is being developed into a private AI intelligence platform. It will combine threat modeling, surveillance-level analytics, and secure communications for modern defense. Key features include:
Predictive threat modeling across cyber, geopolitical, and financial areas.
Secure intelligence channels customized for different client types.
Surveillance-grade tools integrated for both digital and physical security.
AI-driven risk assessment for family offices, institutions, and governments.
Phase I Capital Deployment
The $1M Phase I funding is structured for efficient use of capital and strategic growth. Based on investor interest and suitability, oversubscription up to $1.5M is possible.
40% AI surveillance systems & encrypted communication infrastructure
25% Defense-tech partnerships & exclusive IP licensing
20% Secure cloud environments, data rooms & private networks
10% PR, media visibility & global security summit presence
5% Legal, compliance & advisory infrastructure
An additional $100K is allocated to marketing to increase global visibility through cybersecurity conferences, strategic PR, and investor relations.
“This Phase I is designed to reduce risk and attract smart capital, from investors who understand that lasting power comes from building a solid foundation, not just generating hype,” Cristian added.
Hive Strategic Group: A Holding Company with Purpose
Hive Strategic Group (branded as HiveCorp) is a modern holding company, not a typical startup. The parent company operates on three core principles:
Prioritizing ownership by holding equity in high-quality, future-oriented companies.
Reinvesting dividends to build long-term value.
Empowering founder-led execution without unnecessary institutional constraints.
Hive combines institutional capital discipline with entrepreneurial speed, focusing on long-term positioning rather than short-term gains.
