NetBird

NetBird GmbH is a Berlin company (Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 237529 B), registered in 2022 as Wiretrustee UG and run by its co-founders Mikhail Bragin and Maycon Santos. It builds an open-source mesh VPN on WireGuard and sells a hosted version, whose terms are under German law and whose application hosting runs on servers in the EU/EEA. The German federal StartUp Secure programme funded its zero-trust mesh research in 2023. A EUR 8.5 million Series A in January 2026 was led by Pace Capital, a US fund, with Nauta, InReach and Antler; the capital increase registered in December 2025 added about a quarter of the share capital, and no parent company sits above the GmbH.
