It’s been a busy week for us and today I’m thrilled to be announcing our investment in Averlon! Security is an asymmetric game for defenders monitoring applications & infrastructure against new threats. This means that the fundamental job of a security team is risk management. These folks come into work every day with a mandate to identify the most effective things they can do, in the shortest period of time, to reduce risk in their organization. Among the millions of vulnerabilities in the cloud, only a small subset pave the way for real world attacks and create true risk. The challenge lies in being able to pinpoint this critical subset and Averlon allows security teams identify those risks in minutes. Sunil and Vishal have built a platform that gives CISOs the ability to think like attackers. Averlon gives security teams unparalleled ability to identify what an attacker can explore or exploit to pinpoint threats, predict attacks, and to mitigate them. When we talked with CISOs about Averlon, we were blown away by the response. We rarely see such consistently positive feedback from potential customers who gave us quotes like, “I would love to have this”, “Can I introduce them to my ASAP?”, and “Averlon saved us hundreds of hours the first time we used it”. We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Sunil, Vishal, and the entire team at Averlon on this journey. Thanks as well to David from Outpost Ventures and Nowi & Kartik at Salesforce Ventures – we’re stoked to work with you. Averlon is hiring – if you have a passion for cloud security and want to work with a fantastic team, please get in touch. https://lnkd.in/gu4VChDX

We’re excited to publicly take the wraps off of our investment in Overland AI! The future of defense is defined by software and the primes of tomorrow are infants today. https://lnkd.in/gZCEirvG Overland allows vehicles to navigate completely off road, with no maps or markers, in the rain, snow, and sleet. Is that a tree or a rock? Can the vehicle drive through it or should it drive around? Overland is the software powering these decisions. By removing a human from a vehicle, Overland provides safety and tactical advantages to ground operations. Thanks to Byron, Stephanie, Greg, and Jon for having us at Voyager Capital on board for the journey. No human should be put at risk when a machine can do the job. P.S. Overland is hiring.
