Vixul Portfolio Company ScaleSec Successfully Acquired By RKON
ScaleSec realizes strong exit, underscoring Vixul’s role in accelerating acquisition-ready technology services firms
Austin, Texas – November 12, 2025 – Vixul is excited to announce the acquisition of its portfolio company, ScaleSec, by RKON to strengthen its cloud security capabilities. As Marsha Wilson and Aaron Wilson embark on a new journey with RKON to provide even deeper IT services for their clients, Vixul is privileged to have played a role in their growth as founders.
Under Vixul’s guidance ScaleSec positioned itself for a successful transaction by operationalizing its customer acquisition and achieving financial maturity, resulting in stable growth in revenue.
“We were looking to make our business practices more repeatable, which Vixul helped us emphasize. We were able to leverage Vixul’s subject matter experts, and they brought thought leadership. They shared things that have worked for them and those that have not, as they led their service companies. That helped us navigate our priorities while continuing to keep our business going," said Marsha Wilson, former Co-founder & CEO of ScaleSec.
“This is a tremendous milestone for Vixul,” said Ali Hussain, Managing Partner at Vixul. “Early-stage tech services firms have to operationalize many systems before they can hit a level of scale that makes them a good acquisition target. At Vixul, we do that through our three P’s of positioning, planning, and pipeline growth.”
Since launch, Vixul’s mission has focused on building an end-to-end ecosystem for early-stage technology services founders. Vixul Managing Partner Aater Suleman said, “Over the past 15 years, the playbook for building a tech services company has changed, with the gap between product and services rapidly vanishing. In 2025 we’ve seen exit multiples as high as 5.5x revenue for tech services companies, although it can be as low 1.1x without building the right structures and offerings.”
