Topics:
- You've looked at hundreds of security startups at the growth stage - what is getting funded? What is not getting funded? What is the difference?
- What's your view on the current market environment for security companies? Is security "recession-proof", whatever that means?
- How do you think about what problems are worth solving with a new venture vs existing vendors (and/or CSPs) expanding to cover the new area?
- Why do many cloud security vendors get funded and get high valuations while there is a wide perception that CSP (like us at Google) are doing security really well?
- How do we solve the challenge that many organizations are barely moving off “antivirus and firewalls” security of the 1990s?
- What is your best advice to cloud security startups trying to get wider adoption?
