Investor in Malanta
Apr 2025
Malanta is redefining enterprise security for the pre-attack era. As the perimeter disappears and AI.Attacks accelerate, Malanta focuses on what happens before the breach: identifying and dismantling the infrastructure adversaries build to target enterprises. Instead of chasing alerts, security teams use Malanta to see what’s coming, act earlier and stay ahead of AI.Attackers that never make the news.
Investor in Substrata
Jan 2024
Substrata optimizes B2B sales and high-ticket dealmaking by analyzing multiple communication layers: verbal, nonverbal, and contextual, in deal-related interactions. The platform continuously assesses the dealmakers position at every stage, providing impactful, data driven guidance that significantly boosts win rates, shortens sales cycles, and enhances overall goal and quota attainment. Powered by deep-learning social signal processing technology, Substrata is the ultimate dealmaking assistant. It equips dealmakers with transformative insights into the hidden dynamics between sellers and prospects, from mutual social status appraisals and prospect-side perceptions of seller competence to nuanced evaluations of relevancy, scarcity, urgency, consistency, and more. Taking it a step further, Substrata recommends optimal deal-closing tactics tailored to specific market categories, target audiences, perceived solution value, relationship history, deal momentum, and additional contextual factors.
