Show Notes:
- Topic 1 - Let’s jump right into the company. CloudCheckr seems super interesting to us because it appears to be a consolidation of everything operations. Everything from Security, Cost, Availability, Compliance and Usage. What problems are you trying to solve in the market today?
- Topic 2 - You have a security background based on your previous startups, what made you take your application level expertise and apply this to cloud?
- Topic 3 - CloudCheckr supports both AWS and Azure today. From a security standpoint, compare and contrast them for us.
- Topic 4 - What is CloudCheckr’s strategy when it comes to both identification and resolution of security compliance?
- Topic 5 - Another big aspect of CloudCheckr is cost awareness. How does cost awareness relate to security?
- Topic 6 - [from recent press-release] “CloudCheckr currently services over 150 AWS and Azure authorized resellers and provides support to nearly 40% of all AWS Premier Consulting Partners.” Can you talk a little bit about your business model and the interaction between customers and partners?
- Topic 7 - Last month CloudCheckr announced $50 million in Series A funding. You have expressed mixed feelings in the past about accepting VC money. We have a lot of listeners that follow this space closely. What are your thoughts here on the tradeoffs and what advice would you give to up-and-coming founders out there?
