Software Infrastructure

Blood, sweat and guidance

"I'm a founder of a company, i've seen the blood, sweat and tears and i'm trying to share my experience with founders to help them in their journey."

De-risk with hard questions

"A key element of a successful cyber company is solving a major problem for a key stakeholder in the CISO organization with a product that could become one of their three significant platforms, and it needs a moat in tech, data, or product experience. Early at Team8 we are validation-obsessed: we meet dozens if not hundreds of potential customers and ask the hard questions: is it really a top-three pain, will you really pay, did you look at alternatives, does the deployment resonate, and what value do you need to actually buy?"

Building the infrastructure layer

"From the friction of working day to day with enterprises, we realized we can do more to secure and enable the cutting edge of enterprise innovation. That means building the infrastructure layer that helps developers, supports AI, and powers enterprise applications securely and reliably."

Evolving data frontiers

"A lot of people ask me how we deal with the fact that the market is very hot, especially in infrastructure and cyber. My suggestion to founders is to be minded and focused on what actually matters for your business. At the end of the day, you’re on a mission that might take a decade to build a meaningful and great business. The hype cycle might help you, but it can also distract you and lead to the wrong decisions along the way."
