1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Ritesh Agarwal of CerraCap Ventures (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: I’m going to ask you for a couple of more specific points on that. You have a CIO panel. Do you also have a CISO panel that you check with when you do cyber security investments?

Ritesh Agarwal: Primarily CIO. If the CIO feels that he needs to get his extended team involved, they’d refer to their ecosystem or their folks.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Elly Truesdell of Almanac Insights (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: In your industry, how do you see geography playing out? I take it you invest mostly in American companies. 

Elly Truesdell: Primarily American companies. We have recently made our first investment in a Canadian company. We are open to and will look at companies abroad. Where we really like to make sure we’re positioning ourselves is to add value.

If we’re being pitched by a European or South American company that is strictly doing business in those countries, we don’t necessarily bring much value. We want to make sure that there’s a reason for us to invest.
