Episode notes
Humble Startup Roots
- Ash and Victor left a consulting firm in 2006 and started Identropy because they believed they could do identity better.
- Early community connections and conferences helped them learn and grow quickly.
Advisory Services Filled A Common Gap
- Customers often liked technology but lacked vision and project drivers to adopt it successfully.
- That gap led Identropy to develop advisory services to help organizations prepare for IAM implementations.
Squid Product Journey
- In 2010 Identropy raised VC and built a cloud IAM product called Squid Life Cycles while running services under one umbrella.
- Squid was later acquired by Computer Associates around 2014 after several years of startup growth.
