Fixing how cybersecurity products are bought and sold – Mariana Padilla – ESW #385
This is a topic our hosts are very passionate about, and we're excited to discuss with Mariana Padilla, co-founder and CEO of Hackerverse. She wants to change how cybersecurity sales works, with a focus on making the process more transparent and ideally demonstrating a product's efficacy before buyers even need to talk to a sales team.
We'll discuss why existing sales processes are broken, how VC funding impacts vendor sales/marketing, and why community-led growth is so important.
