Thank you Alan Snyder, Brian Murphy, Jonathan Brody and NowSecure for cohosting VIP Comedy Night w/Appdome.

It's been amazing to see the RAD Security team in action sharing what's what in cloud-native threat detection and response here at #BlackHat2024. On top of all the private briefings and hustle in the business hall (Booth #219 in Startup City!)... ✨ CEO & Co-Founder Brooke M. (a serial startup builder and scaler from the jump to IPO) led a panel on rapid growth at the Innovator and Investors Summit and spoke on authentic leadership and empowerment at the Vision and Voice community breakfast ✨ CTO & Co-Founder Jimmy Mesta 🤙 killed it during the Startup Spotlight pitch (congrats RAD on winning the popular vote!) Congrats on a great show, team. On to #SINET24! #cloudsecurity #innovation #forgepointfamily

Forgepoint Capital reposted this
Two weeks ago, Huntress- the 100% remote team of SMB-protecting warriors- descended upon NYC for another magical, impactful Summer Summit, only this time nearly 400 strong (a 60% increase over LA!). Thank you Kyle Hanslovan, Chris Bisnett, Marcos E. Torres, Brenda Jeppesen, Ehret Arguinzoni and so many folks across the team who let me embed once again and crash the (yacht) party! It's impossible to recap how much was covered but here are my highlights: https://lnkd.in/gZeE5hKU Ernie B., Alberto Yépez and all of us at Forgepoint Capital couldn't be prouder to be a part of your journey and RIDE... 🚀 Keep up the mission and incredible work, team!! LFG. #Huntress #EDRandmore #forgepointfamily
