This week on Secure Insights, we’re joined by Justin Somaini of YL Ventures, one of the world’s top cybersecurity VCs and ranked in the Top 10 globally by PitchBook. As a firm behind multiple security unicorns, Justin brings a rare, insider view into what truly turns bold ideas into investable, scalable businesses.

We break down the real journey from idea to seed: how to determine whether your concept solves a genuine, material problem for security practitioners, why ease of deployment and operational simplicity matter, and what VCs actually look for when backing early-stage founders. Justin also shares practical guidance on validating your idea, positioning it for early traction, and avoiding the common pitfalls that stop great concepts from becoming great companies.

For aspiring founders, he offers clear advice on getting your idea off the ground and why CISO, CRO, and CMO advisors can dramatically accelerate your go-to-market strategy. A concise, powerful episode for anyone curious about how security startups really get funded.
