I founded one of the first cybersecurity companies (Anitian) in 1995 after I "discovered" SQL injection (that's a long story). I ran Anitian for 26 years and pivoted the company a few times. In 2016 I invented a Compliance Automation tech and got VC funding in 2019. I exited Anitian in 2022 with a nice payday. I wrote a book about being a founder. I am working on a second book on sales. I now serve as an advisor to startups and do technical due diligence work for investors. Here is a press release from 2019 when I got funded: https://www.finsmes.com/2019/02/anitian-raises-11m-in-series-a-funding.html AMA about being a founder, cybersecurity, getting VC money, or sales. https://preview.redd.it/6qgyv6wpqkyg1.jpg?width=1321&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9945059704f23a40a13c58e158bec9cf3c7023 You can check me out here: https://andrewplato.com submitted by /u/andrewplato [link] [comments]
