Lessons from 10 years running the first cyber-exclusive investment firm – Bob Ackerman – ESW #342

Bob Ackerman argues that, from an investment perspective, cybersecurity is like life sciences – a complex, nuanced field that is difficult field to invest in part-time. So his firm, Allegis Cyber, became one of the first to focus exclusively on investing in cyber startups. In this segment, we’ll discuss one of Allegis’s recent investments, SixMap, and Bob’s other investment/accelerator vehicle, Data Tribe. Data Tribe sources investments from national intelligence, with examples like Dragos that came through this program.
