Cyndi Gula positions herself as a co-founder for life operator-investor who brings a long-term, co-founder mindset to supporting founders rather than acting like a traditional, more distant VC, having co-founded and run Tenable's operations before becoming a full-time investor. She acts as a public advocate for rebranding cybersecurity as data care to make the field less intimidating and more human-centric, while combining investing with ecosystem-level workforce development through education-oriented events and using media and podcasts as a core part of her investing platform to shape how founders, policymakers, and the public think about cyber and data care.
