Watch a preview of our exclusive interview with Nadir Izrael, Co-Founder and CTO of Armis.

Armis just reached a major #milestone, surpassing $300M in #ARR. But this time, we’re going back to the beginning.

We started with the #pivotal moment after crossing $1M in revenue. Despite early #success, a conversation with Gili Raanan pushed them to answer the key question: What are our #customers really #buying, and what are we actually selling?

From there, we touched on one of the key #engineering challenges Nadir faced as a CTO while building a multifaceted #platform, and their M&A approach, weighing #integration versus selling separately. #Silk, as a standout example, grew 4,000% within just 9 months of acquisition.

And of course, we couldn’t skip over #AI. We discussed Armis’ perspective on defending against AI-powered #cyberattacks, what’s real versus hype in the AI #agents debate, and where the industry is truly heading.

Finally, the golden question for every startup: When should you #launch your product? You guess it right, #Yesterday!

Watch our exclusive interview with Margit Wennmachers, Operating Partner of Andreessen Horowitz.

From starting out at a secretary school in #Germany, to building Outcast Agency in the US, and ultimately shaping one of the most well-known VC firms in the world — Andreessen Horowitz.

But joining a new #VC firm with no past portfolio required a different mindset. They chose a new approach: #market to the #entrepreneurs, not the LPs, a moved that clearly paid off. We then discussed the evolution of Andreessen Horowitz — from a venture firm into something that borders on an institution.

We moved on to talk about how and when #startups should build their brand — and what to do when a #PR #Crisis hits. What are the steps leaders need to take?

Lastly, We touched on specific #PR management #challenges, and different approached, like Salesforce and their radical transparency early on, and yes — we got to talk about the fake demonstrations against Siebel, right Marc? 🙂

Watch our exclusive interview with Sanaz Yashar, Co-Founder and CEO at Zafran Security.

Born in Iran, moved to Israel, studied #Biology and ended up in Cyber. There’s never a dull moment with Sanaz!

Join us as Sanaz walks us through her incredible journey, building Zafran Security . It all started with a #cyber incident at a hospital —an event that pushed them to think differently and develop a way to quickly identify and reduce real threats without relying solely on #patching.

Sounds simple? Well, not when you’re dealing with 30 million #vulnerabilities. It’s all about the order—just like making #PersianRice. As Sanaz says: you only add the Zafran at the end. That’s why we even got a live #demo! (of their cyber product)

We also discussed Zafran Security’s #GTM approach, how they initially engage with #clients, and explored real-world cases where they’ve made a major #impact.

So how are Biology, Cyber, Persian rice, and #StephCurry all connected? 🧬💻🍚🏀

Maya takes us through the fascinating story behind Lemonade. As a #B2C company, we started by discussing the key #differences from a typical B2B model — from building #trust with end-users to designing an effective #GTM strategy.

Now, it’s one thing to build a B2C company — but building one in the #insurance space, where most #competitors are over 100 years old? That’s a whole different game. We talked about how Lemonade set itself apart using #AI, cool ads, and by integrating #donations directly into their business model.

We also explored the concept of #embedded Insurance, and how Lemonade leverages it as a unique advantage — all while continuing to earn and maintain #trust with their users.

And Maya’s favorite hobby? Dancing, of course!💃🕺

Tomer takes us back to the early days of SentinelOne—what it was like convincing the VC community and customers from #Fortune500 that #EndPoint protection could be powered by #AI, long before it was a thing.

Fast forward to today, we discussed the recent announcement of #Athena, the next evolution of #PurpleAI, which brings #agentic capabilities to SecOps teams. What does it take to build such cutting-edge capabilities? And how do you stay ahead of the curve when driving #innovation?

We also explored the topic of #PostMerger integration—whether to keep selling products separately or wait for full #integration.

And of course, we had to ask: what's Tomer’s favorite #sport and team? 🏀🌉🧢

As one of the most experienced #product leaders out there, Tamar shared the secret recipe behind great product development. We started by exploring why #empathy is key to #success, then dove into post-merger integration, especially the big question: keep selling or wait for full #integration?

We continued with insights into Glean’s journey, from hiring 100 employees before generating any #revenue to the recent announcement of Glean #Agents and how they’re transforming enterprise #efficiency.

Lastly, we explored the difference between Glean’s horizontal and vertical AI tools, and how even those without a technical background can use the #AgentBuilder to create customized solutions on their own.

Watch our exclusive interview with Oren Kaniel, Co-Founder and CEO of AppsFlyer.

Everybody knows AppsFlyer today, but what many don’t realize is that in the beginning, most investors said no to their idea. Oren shared that “no” turned out to be a gift — it only strengthened their #conviction to focus on building the #product, even when they were still #outsiders to the industry.

They continued making bold, seemingly irrational decisions, like operating without a #sales team for the first six years, and instead concentrated entirely on creating the best possible #product for their customers. That strategy paid off. Today, AppsFlyer powers some of the biggest names including: The Coca-Cola Company , Nike, Pinterest and Visa.

We also discussed the #AI revolution, as AppsFlyer aims for 50% of their coding and #software development to involve AI by year-end—a shift transforming how they build and deliver products. A great example is Creative Analytics, their AI-native solution launched last year, redefining app #analytics.

And Oren’s advice to young professionals? Bring a #founder’s mindset wherever you go. 💡🌍
