It's really hard.

You have really bad days sometimes.

It takes a lot of greed and determination to keep going and believe that you're going to figure it out.

when the first company i invested in shut down i had to shut it down that was super hard that was because it's a very public failure it's a failure that you cannot cover it's a failure that you have to deal with what motivates you more the thrill of winning or the fear of losing thrill of winning

I had a really fun first meeting with a founder where during the meeting, the founder start to shout,

I'm the best.

I'm the best motherfucker.

I'm the best.

And it's like, okay.

And he's like, it goes on and on like 10 minutes with this, like praising himself.

And it was his way, I don't know, his crazy way to demonstrate self-confidence.

Did you invest?

No.

Working with my team.

Growing, you know, amazing investors that can keep on making impact on cybersecurity.

Really enjoyed it.

And thank you so much.

You should invite me more often.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Gili Raanan - Cybersecurity Investment Playbook - [Invest Like the Best, EP416] · 25 Mar 2025 podcast

Cybersecurity for over 35 years, not happy to admit it, but that's reality. So I believe I do have a perspective on it. We live in days where it's actually the perfect storm in cybersecurity for various reasons. And when I look back at the days I founded CyberStarts, short of seven years in 2018, it wasn't the case. In 2018, cybersecurity was considered a boring portion of IT.
