In this episode of Secure Insights, Nick sits down with Mehlam Shakir Partner at Dream IT Ventures, a top-10 US venture capital firm investing exclusively in cutting-edge cybersecurity startups. A former founder himself, Mel brings real-world experience and six years of dedicated cyber investing to the conversation.

He shares powerful insights on what it really takes to turn a cybersecurity idea into a fundable seed-stage company, including how to validate your concept, build early traction, navigate the fundraising world and avoid the common pitfalls many first-time founders face.

Whether you're building your first product or scaling toward investment, this episode really is the insider scoop. It's packed with guidance from someone who has been on both sides of the table.
