Rubica
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Rubica sold subscription cybersecurity protection using an application, network traffic protection and human security expertise for consumers and businesses.
02 / Rubica FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
Pandemic-related spending reductions hurt revenue. The company tried moving toward larger employers with remote workers but could not secure more investment before cash ran out. Its chief executive thought the new market strategy might still have been too early.
