No summary available yet.
Ballistic is what happens when enterprise software VCs get really serious about cybersecurity. They actually understand the technical nuances and aren't just riding the security hype wave. Their partners have real operational experience and can open doors at large enterprises. The downside? They're highly selective and move slowly on deals outside their core thesis. If you're building anything security-adjacent but not pure-play cybersecurity, they'll probably pass quickly.
