Shardul Shah has spent nearly two decades investing in cybersecurity and enterprise software at Index Ventures, including six consecutive rounds in Wiz before Google bought it. He joins TechCrunch’s Equity podcast to explain why periodic, human-in-the-loop security cannot keep pace with AI-native threats.
The episode also covers the cyber insurance layer most companies skip, why Index is writing cheques at earlier stages than it once did, and what separates a founder worth backing.
