We are excited to release episode 8 of the HyperPod with Yanev Suissa. Yanev is the Founder and Managing Partner of SineWave Ventures investing in iconic enterprise tech companies like Databricks and SentinelOne. Prior to SineWave, Yanev was an investor at NEA, where he sourced, managed, and helped advise dozens of early-stage investments.
