Darren Sandberg brings an unusual blend of more than 25 years as both an operator and investor, including hands-on board and operating roles at Channel Intelligence's holding company before its Google acquisition and a decade as Managing Director at Actua, giving him a multi-angle view on growth and exits that many VCs lack. He's known for focusing on 4 a.m. problems—customer pain points so acute that people lose sleep over them—and acts as a bridge between founders and the broader securetech ecosystem through his activity in modern cloud security, CNAPP/Kubernetes security, and threat-led defense.
