🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Crosspoint is the definition of 'steady Eddie' - they know enterprise software cold and don't chase shiny objects. Rick Smith has genuine pattern recognition in security, and their portfolio construction shows real discipline. The Matt Jacobson hire from Greylock added product chops but also Silicon Valley expectations that sometimes clash with their more conservative Woodside culture. They're genuinely helpful post-investment but won't coddle you - expect direct feedback and high standards. Not the flashiest name on your cap table, but they actually know how to build enterprise companies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: Technical founders building serious enterprise software who want experienced operators
  • Watch out for: High bar for founder-market fit and genuine technical differentiation
  • Known for: Deep cybersecurity expertise and disciplined portfolio construction
