TENEX.AI

I’m excited to share why we invested in TENEX.AI — a team redefining what modern security operations can achieve. 👉 AI works best with humans in the loop. Think of it like a Formula 1 car: the machine delivers impossible speed, but it still takes a world-class driver to harness it. TENEX blends AI horsepower with expert operators to produce consistently better, safer outcomes. 👉 AI enables unthinkable scale with fewer resources. TENEX gives security teams the ability to handle workloads that previously required entire departments — unlocking leverage that wasn’t possible even a few years ago. 👉 The team’s clarity of vision was immediate. From the moment I met CEO Eric Foster and the founding team for lunch, it was clear they were building toward a very specific and deeply informed future for security operations — and executing against it with conviction. It’s rare to find a company that pairs technical excellence with operational maturity this early. Proud to be on this journey with them alongside excellent partners like Andreessen Horowitz, Crosspoint Capital Partners, Shield Capital, and DeepWork Capital.

really truly enjoyed this time with Pablo Srugo of Mistral check out our episode of the The Product Market Fit Show here: https://lnkd.in/eyudJk2g Always appreciate and understand the difficult balancing act of podcast marketing and especially the summarizing into headlines and bullets vs the longer form interview. A couple clear caveats - one, “he sold his…” should *definitely* not be read to imply that it was solely me or mine, or that I said anything of the sort to imply as such - which one person at least definitely felt it did, and I thank them for reaching out, truly. 👋 If it wasn’t immediately obvious - as with any successful company, it’s always a team sport - I was lucky enough to build Cyderes as part of an amazing team - and all of it under the leadership, guidance, and ownership of legendary cybersecurity entrepreneur Gary Fish. And for my friends at the SEC (and all of you playing along at home): as Pablo says clearly and is in more detail in the episode, key word is *on pace* for the 12 month number -- we're only just now 8 months in from first $! -- which is crazy!
