AUSTIN: Vixul said on Thursday its portfolio company ScaleSec has been acquired by RKON Technologies, a move aimed at strengthening RKON’s cloud security capabilities.
Under Vixul’s guidance, ScaleSec achieved financial maturity and operationalized customer acquisition strategies, resulting in stable revenue growth that positioned the firm for a successful transaction.
Marsha Wilson, former co-founder and CEO of ScaleSec, said Vixul’s expertise helped the company make its practices more repeatable and strategically aligned. “Vixul’s subject matter experts shared insights grounded in real-world evidence, which guided us through priorities while keeping the business on track,” Wilson said.
Ali Hussain, managing partner at Vixul, called the deal a milestone. “Early-stage tech services firms must operationalize systems before reaching scale that makes them attractive acquisition targets. At Vixul, we achieve this through positioning, planning, and pipeline growth,” he said.
Aater Suleman, also a managing partner at Vixul, noted that the playbook for building tech services companies has shifted, with the gap between product and services narrowing. “In 2025 we’ve seen exit multiples as high as 5.5x revenue for firms that get the formula right,” Suleman said.
Founded in 2022, Vixul is an accelerator dedicated to early-stage technology services startups, with a portfolio of more than 30 companies. RKON Technologies provides managed IT and cybersecurity services across industries.
Vixul is currently accepting applications for its 2026 accelerator cohort.
