From Bootstrapped to Venture-Backed with Vinnie Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of Bishop Fox | The Forgecast

Few cybersecurity startups develop strong customer relationships with 25% of the Fortune 100, attract an incredible team of experts, and become a market leader– all without any funding.  That’s precisely what Bishop Fox did for over a decade before raising a Series A round in 2019 to invest in the future of offensive security testing at scale.   Bishop Fox co-founder and CEO Vinnie Liu has helmed the company through it all, working to proactively protect the company’s customers from the latest threats.    In this episode, Forgepoint Capital Managing Director Ernie Bio speaks with Vinnie about working with the NSA at 17, co-founding and bootstrapping Bishop Fox, deciding to pursue venture funding, what it takes to build a customer-centric business, developing a scalable offensive security platform, trends in Gen AI and enterprise resiliency, and more.
