Amir Jerbi, CTO of Aqua Security, which last year raised $62 million, recounted as an example the process that Aqua Security went through. He said, “When we went to the market, we were a small company with 4-5 people, and we wanted to do the POC and run forward. We were lucky that they held us up at the start, otherwise we would have been finished. We got back to work and subsequently found a design partner and began a series of meetings and interviews. We went to companies that deal with open code, presented ourselves and explained how we are creating a solution to their problem, and offered to work together with them. The conclusion is that along the way you must choose the right partner, and when you do it right, you start appearing at conferences with companies like Google and Spotlight. Part of the way to develop a startup is also to learn from mistakes, and you are going to make mistakes.”
