Whenever we hit a complex challenge - go-to-market, hiring, product - we had someone to call who'd already solved it. That kind of support changes the game.
YLV was instrumental in connecting us with dozens of cybersecurity leaders who truly understand the startup realm. Through these conversations, we gained invaluable insights, confirming that identity is the top concern for large enterprises heading into 2025 and 2026, and understanding that it’s a cross-departmental problem organizations are eager to solve.
When I was considering my next move, whether to start a company or join a startup as VP of Product, Ofer was my first call. Knowing he was in the space, I consulted with him as I worked through my options. Once I decided to move forward with Native, Ofer made extensive introductions to security professionals from across the industry, immediately putting me in front of CISOs and security leaders to ideate and validate my ideas and direction.
