.406 has been transformational for our business. As former operators and experts in the cyber security industry, they have provided us with unique guidance and support that helped us drive the business to sustained hyper growth. They have connected us with potential customers, partners, advisors and amazing talent in the industry. .406 Ventures has helped us navigate strategic decisions, discuss business model ideas and help us think about how to capture opportunities and mitigate risks. Furthermore, just having the .406 Ventures “logo” has worked as amazing endorsement in the industry.
As a founder CEO, Maria and Greg have become my trusted mentors, helping me grow as a CEO throughout the different phases and challenges of a rapid-growth business, serving as an always-available sounding board to discuss both operational and strategic matters.
When we raised our first institutional round of funding, we were fortunate enough to be oversubscribed. I had options on the table that were offering better economic terms. However, I decided to move forward with .406 Ventures as I realized that their industry experience was unmatched (they had been there and done it), and more importantly, I saw in Maria and Greg future partners I could trust. Looking back, I made a very good decision!

Funny Memory of .406 Ventures
During the due diligence process, Maria had me pitch our story and value prop to a CISO at a large company. He had never heard of us, and was doing her a favor. After he heard what we were doing, he was immediately interested and we engaged in a PoC and, later on, a commercial deal with his company. I heard that after that, he shared with Maria that she actually did him a favor, because he hadn't been aware of this problem before. A couple of years later, that CISO joined our Board of Directors, and has been adding tremendous value to Onapsis.
