Goldman Sachs has invested 6 million US dollars (£4.7 million) in a British cyber security firm headed by a former GCHQ staffer. Goldman Sachs led the 8 million US dollar (£6.2 million) total investment along with other smaller private backers and the funds will be used by Immersive Labs to hire more staff to develop the skills platform. Immersive Labs was founded in 2017 by James Hadley, a former researcher at HM Government Communications Headquarters, who came up with the idea after running a cyber security summer school for GCHQ which taught 18 to 25-year-olds technical skills. It currently employs about 65 people across its offices in Bristol, London and New York.
