1/ SOC 2.0

Jokes aside, unicorn status lost its meaning in 2021, when VCs started pricing the shit out of each other in the attempt to deploy capital and/or define category leaders. In a perfect world, ARR, NRR and path to profitability would be the north stars for the “best companies”.

Security Score Card, Panorays, and all the other 3rd party risk assessment tools are apparently not enough, so we need more companies in this category to actually build a solution that is actionable and dynamic.

Main takeaway from this week: if you say “we’re not fundraising” (while on a podcast) and in fact end up raising, you’re gonna get called a liar on twitter. Early stage founders, watch your back.
