Vixul Portfolio Company ScaleSec Successfully Acquired By RKON

ScaleSec realizes strong exit, underscoring Vixul’s role in accelerating acquisition-ready technology services firms

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vixul is excited to announce the acquisition of its portfolio company, ScaleSec, by RKON to strengthen its cloud security capabilities. Under Vixul’s guidance, ScaleSec positioned itself for a successful transaction by operationalizing its customer acquisition and achieving financial maturity, resulting in stable growth in revenue.

“Vixul changed how we approached our business. We knew we needed to make our practices more repeatable, and Vixul enabled us to operationalize that intention. Vixul's subject matter experts shared insights and guidance grounded in real-world evidence based on their own experiences as well as learnings from across their portfolio. This guidance helped us navigate our priorities while keeping our business going in the right direction strategically,” said Marsha Wilson, former Co-founder & CEO of ScaleSec.

“This is a tremendous milestone for Vixul,” said Ali Hussain, Managing Partner at Vixul. “Early-stage tech services firms have to operationalize many systems before they can hit a level of scale that makes them a good acquisition target. At Vixul, we do that through our three P's of positioning, planning, and pipeline growth. ”

Since launch, Vixul’s mission has focused on building an end-to-end ecosystem for early-stage technology services founders. Vixul Managing Partner Aater Suleman said, “The playbook for building a tech services company has changed, with the gap between product and services rapidly vanishing. In 2025 we’ve seen exit multiples as high as 5.5x revenue for tech services companies that get the formula and their metrics right.”

Vixul is currently accepting applications for its upcoming cohort for 2026. Companies interested in applying to the accelerator program may do so here.
