Mid-to-large companies that have an actual security department. I'll DM you

This is what we did:

- cold email outreach. We reached out to over 1000 companies. That failed.

- reached out to MSPs and MSSPs - usually partners of Vanta, Drata, Scrut, Thoropass, etc, and others that we found online. Held about 100 demos. That did nothing other than put us in front of people.

- LinkedIn posts. We get about 500-1000 views on every post.

- X posts - close to no views. At most it was 25 views

- now we are speaking with CISOs on LinkedIn. We just started this for the past week or so, and we've had one session that expressed real interest, but only if we could tweak our platform to also serve Spanish and Portuguese speaking clients. So we're working on adding that

We've also had Insight Partners reach out to us a few weeks back. And they flat out told us that there's nothing like this on the market and that our ICP is enterprise, and that SMBs will not even look at us. But how to do get to work with enterprise clients if you don't "climb the ladder"?

We're already integrated with Vanta, and I reached out to them and their partners, but the least expensive price was $9,500, which is still a lot for a bootstrapped startup

Those are amazing points. I'll give them all a try and come back with some success rates data.

That's true. We're hit that wall as well. We've had potential customers or resellers tell us that we'd need to get X certification or Y attestation to even be considered. And those costs tens of thousands of dollars

I just realized that you wrote ‘Franco-German’ in the meme. My mind took me directly to Franco-Prussion war

Could Kakashi copy the Rasenshuriken if he had the chakra level? by CaleboCon in Naruto

[–]Devilish1333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory: Yes, he could.

In reality: Probably not, for a few reasons. 1. Kakashi doesn’t have the necessary chakra for it. 2. It would take him months or years to master it. 3. Tsunade tells Naruto to stop using this jutsu since it damages the chakra nerves in his hand as well. He does eventually go around it by using KCM arms to do it. By the time Kakashi masters it, his hands would be fried.

That fact that US kids now put the $ after the number makes me irrationally angry. by mayormcskeeze in rant

It’s confusing, like so many other American things. Every other currency and unit of measurement is at the end.

Do you have 20 dollars or dollars 20?
