New AI Cybersecurity Startup Case Studies Course and Coupons

Cybersecurity is one of the most dynamic sectors in tech, and one of the most challenging for startups to break into. Our new course, AI Cybersecurity Startup Case Studies, is designed to help you navigate this high-stakes industry with real-world examples of startups using AI to solve today’s most urgent security problems. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, technologist or aspiring founder, you’ll learn how others are building trust with hard-to-reach decision-makers like CIOs and CISOs, tackling new threat surfaces and breaking into the opaque buyer ecosystem.

This is your chance to explore how AI-driven startups are identifying critical gaps in cybersecurity, from agentic AI and API sprawl to remote infrastructure vulnerabilities and how they’re choosing the right go-to-market and funding strategies to succeed. Learn what works, what doesn’t and how to make smarter decisions at every stage of the journey.

For the month of August, we’re offering up to 85% off this course and all others listed below.

All coupons expire on August 31, 2025, so don’t miss your chance to enroll today!

Sramana Mitra: Tell me about your AI investment thesis.

David Evans: I’m going to build on something you said in terms of how do you get sticky, how do you know what to invest in? Generally speaking, we’re looking for companies that meet two criteria. One is unilateral where AI is core to the value proposition. If you just have a button that says, “Click here to do something AI,” we’re really not interested. AI features are table stakes.

Colors: Drama in Light VIII

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields.

Building a Venture Scale Two-sided Marketplace for College Prep to 8-Figure Revenue: Empowerly CEO Hanmei Wu (Part 7)

Sramana Mitra: That’s much trickier. What I see that’s really unique and very interesting in your business is the fact that you have taken a category—this college counseling or preparing high school students for college—which tends to be very transactional. You know, people pay on an hourly basis, and little bits and pieces, dribs and drabs. And you’ve turned it into a two, three, four-year, six-month kind of long-term, relationship-based, high customer lifetime value business, which I think is quite unique in your space.
