About Light Squares
We're building honest, effective tools that make next-generation security accessible to everyone.
Our Mission
As an independent, founder-owned company, we focus on building honest, effective tools that protect against modern threats—making next-generation security accessible. We believe that robust security should be the default, not an afterthought.
Our Team
Daniel and Mario met at the University of Cambridge during their PhDs. Recognising that modern security technologies are underutilized due to their complexity, they founded Light Squares in September 2025 to bring their vision to life. Based in Cambridge, UK, we combine cutting-edge research with practical engineering to build solutions that are both powerful and simple to use.
