S12 E2: Why Pure AI Automation Fails Enterprise Procurement and How "Customer Assurance" Unlocks Hidden Deal Velocity with Pukar Hamal, Founder & CEO of SecurityPal AI

from Code Story | Startup Podcast for CTOs, CEOs and Technical Founders Hosted by Noah Labhart | Podcast for Technical Founders & Startups

Pukar Hamal was born in 1991, and is originally from Katmandu, Nepal. He grew up with no plumbing and no electricity, prior to moving to the states to grow up in Queens. Eventually, he moved to the Bay Area to attend Stanford, and fell in love with the area and the forward thinking culture. Outside of tech, he's been married for a few years. He enjoys listening to podcast about tech, finance, and economics, along with playing tennis every now and again. In his past venture, Pukar was on the one yard line for making a deal on his company. Before it could close, his team was hit with a security due diligence questionnaire that halted the process. Having that experience drove him to build something to speed up the execution and experience of customer assurance. This is the creation story of SecurityPal AI.
