NCF-353 Preparing Cyber Startups for Investor Engagement

New Cyber Frontier

In this episode, we speak with guest Peter Daneyko Co-Founder of KoreChain, about raising capital for startups. This topic is challenging for cybersecurity companies often due to the technical nature and difficulty in relaying the value of new technology. The investment community has very established lingo, norms, and expectations, which are often foreign to newcomers. Great ideas for technology may not correlate directly to the patterns anticipated by the finance industry, so we take some time today to provide cybersecurity practitioners with some invaluable financial incite. Guest Mr. Daneyko has supported over 200 companies raise money to support growth. Daneyko expresses that the way to transition from an early startup to a scalable company is to educate early to understand what to expect when reaching a growth stage. We talk about some questions such as “How to determine the amount of money you want to raise? What are the different options for debt or equity? What are the differences between Reg-CF, Reg-A, B & C? What regulations apply to my company?. How do I get noticed or reach the investment community?”. This is a great conversation for a startup company that does not have that much exposure but has great technology. This show is a good starting point for "Capital Raise 101" or just to understand some of the finance industry lingo. Thanks to Mr. Daneyko for this invaluable incite and you will not want to miss this episode of New Cyber Frontier.
