Episode notes

This chapter explores the topic of venture capitalists (VCs) and their influence on founders and the focus of their companies. The speaker discusses how much of the literature and advice out there is centered around fundraising and pleasing investors, which can distract founders from focusing on their product. The chapter concludes with an appreciation for Apple's emphasis on product quality despite its massive size.

This week we’re joined by Haroon Meer from Thinkst — the makers of Canary and Canary Tokens. Haroon walks us through a network getting compromised, what it takes to deploy a Canary on your network, how they maintain low false-positive numbers, their thoughts and principles on building their business (major wisdom shared!), and how a Canary helps surface network attacks in real time.
