2022
Year in Review
2022 brought the need for more resilience and resourcefulness, yet there were still many milestones to celebrate amid the uncertainty. Here are the highlights.
As seasoned investors and company builders in cybersecurity and infrastructure software, we've found that the best companies can emerge from times like this. We're optimistic about the future and all that can and must be done to protect it. To our community of innovators, leaders, partners, and friends around the world: thank you. We are honored to work with you and grateful for your support. The mission continues and the best is yet to come.
