Getting Back to your Roots as a Founder with Alon Arvatz ($335M Exit)

Join Alon Arvatz as he shares his advice about how to go back to your roots as a company when faced with product and market challenges.

Cybersecurity expert Alon Arvatz has long anticipated threats before they happen, but as Co-founder of threat intelligence platform, IntSights, which was recently acquired by Rapid7 for $335M, he has also learned to look to the past.

At a Founders Network keynote presentation on January 19, Arvatz will share his advice about how to go back to your roots as a company when faced with product and market challenges. In his role leading strategy, Arvatz helped Insights realign with its original mission – to democratize threat intelligence – after a rocky period. He will suggest ways founders can generate renewed belief in themselves, humility and a willingness to consult with outside experts, which he believes can lead to success. Arvatz will offer an inspiring alternative to the conventional wisdom about pivoting, a path to renewal that is based on a return to company origins.

You’ll learn:

• Why SMEs may represent the future of threat intelligence
• What all companies can learn from the cybersecurity market
• How to handle friction between product and marketing teams
• When and how to trust your founder instincts
