KOI

Koi is entering its next chapter following its acquisition by Palo Alto Networks.

At the center of the conversation is how a company can move quickly without losing clarity. Amit reflects on the founding of the business, the early technical work that became Extension Total, and the customer-driven evolution that expanded the company’s focus beyond extensions into a broader security platform direction.

The episode also covers the speed of the company’s early execution, from rapid revenue growth after the seed round to building an enterprise product for OpenAI in just two weeks. That pace helped shape a strategy built around demonstrating proof of value from the start.

Looking ahead, Amit explains why the Palo Alto Networks acquisition is exciting not because it changes the vision, but because it gives the team the ability to execute the same roadmap at much greater scale.
