Panther Labs Founder Jack Naglieri on Cloud-Native SIEM and Self-Growth

This week on Founded & Funded, Madrona Partner Vivek Ramaswami talks to Jack Naglieri, Founder and CEO of 2022 IA40 winner Panther Labs. Jack founded Panther, a leading cloud-native security information and event management platform, because he had experienced first-hand the threat detection challenges companies have at cloud scale. Growing frustrated with the compromises required by traditional SIEM platforms, Jack took his experiences from Yahoo and Airbnb and set out to build a solution that detects and responds to suspicious activity in real time.

In this IA40 spotlight episode, Jack shares where the inspiration to launch his own company came from – hint it was from a cold email he received. He also breaks down why he decided to take the leap and become an entrepreneur and what it’s like transitioning from a software engineer to a founder and then to a successful founder. Jack also shares details about what it takes to land – and keep — your first customer and provides some advice about how CEOs should be the only ones learning on the job. But you’ll have to listen to get all the details.
