About

Jon Sakoda is a serial entrepreneur-turned-VC who founded both Decibel Partners and IMlogic, an early leader in enterprise instant-messaging security that was acquired by Symantec, bringing direct founder, product, and cybersecurity experience into boardrooms in a way that's relatively rare among enterprise-focused VCs. He has built a distinctive Founders Helping Founders platform around himself as host of The Decibel Podcast, where he personally interviews iconic enterprise founders about their hardest moments, positioning him not just as a capital provider but as a community-builder and storyteller for founders navigating crises.
