"Since the AI renaissance really started swelling back in 2022, numerous companies have aimed to improve the enterprise software sales process with AI. But a lot of them have focused on the seller and aren’t offering a new model, but rather just automating an aspect of the existing one, whether that be using generative AI to craft sales pitch emails or using the tech to better source sales prospects. What Sagetap is doing actually looks and feels materially different."

💡 Learn the founding story behind this DevOps automation platform: DuploCloud is a DevOps Automation Platform founded by Microsoft Azure veteran Venkat Thiruvengadam to eliminate DevOps hiring needs. At Microsoft, Venkat pioneered public cloud technology and played a key role in developing Azure's networking team, writing significant parts of the compute and network controller stack. During this time, he recognized the lack of hyper-scale automation techniques outside of cloud giants like AWS and Microsoft and founded DuploCloud to bring these techniques to the masses. DuploCloud is built for organizations looking to implement foundational DevOps security and compliance best practices or those looking to source DevOps resources. If you're at the helm of a growing startup, especially if you're a technical founder, CTO, or VP of Engineering, you know how challenging it can be to manage your cloud infrastructure and security. That's where DuploCloud steps in. DuploCloud offers a no-code/low-code platform that automates secure, compliant setups swiftly and cost-effectively. Skip the hassle and expense of DIY or outsourcing. Imagine setting up a secure, compliant infrastructure quickly and without breaking the bank. That's what DuploCloud does. You could figure it out on your own or hire an expensive professional services vendor, but why go through that hassle? Connect with the DuploCloud team on Sagetap today to learn more.

🤝 Meet the founders behind Rig.dev's DevEx platform in our most recent Founder Story: Rig.dev was founded in 2022 by Anders Johnsen, CTO, and Thor Christensen, CEO, who saw first-hand the differences in the developer experience offered by companies that invest heavily in Platform Engineering and those that don’t. Based on the learnings and design principles from the Platform Engineering team at Uber, as well as other tech unicorns and enterprises, they built a platform to help ambitious companies provide a better developer experience to their employees. Rig is a powerful platform and abstraction layer on top of your existing Kubernetes clusters. Today, most Platform Engineering teams either build a Backstage set-up or craft universal Helm Charts to have an abstraction. Backstage is good, but takes a long time to build, requires a lot of maintenance, and will only help your developers create new services. But that's not the issue—the hard part is continuously working with your services. Most companies use Helm Charts for this, but that’s only an abstraction at deploy time. Helm Charts don't help when it comes to continuously observing your services at runtime, providing real-time feedback, and having features such as rollbacks. Abstraction layers with rich tooling that allows developers to obtain full end-to-end application ownership on Kubernetes—like the one Uber offers engineers internally for Day 2 operations on Kubernetes—aren’t publicly available. Until now. To learn more about Rig.dev, anonymously connect with the team on Sagetap.

✅ Check out our latest Founder Spotlight and learn the story behind this machine-first identity platform: Token Security was founded by Itamar Apelblat, CEO, and Ido Shlomo, CTO, in 2023 after serving in the 8200 unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Itamar focused on the defensive side, working directly with the IDF's CISO. Ido focused on the offensive, training professional hackers. During this time, they both saw a gap in machine-to-machine communication, which caused increased attacks because of compromised identities. It was then that they decided to take a more holistic approach to identity security. Token helps security teams safeguard against identity attacks on both the human and machine level—think Kubernetes, cloud environments, workloads, databases, and servers. Token is designed for easy deployment, ensuring a seamless transition without disrupting your business continuity. It operates in the background, providing users with the necessary tools for credentials risk management and machine life cycle control. Here's why leading companies trust Token: 1️⃣ Discover: Reveal all identities in your cloud environment 2️⃣ Context: Uncover who owns and uses each identity  3️⃣ Exposure: Prioritize risks without drowning in alerts 4️⃣ Remediation: Secure all accounts without breaking anything To learn more about Token Security, anonymously connect with the team on Sagetap for free.

💡 Improve your SecOps with the Founder Story behind Cydarm Technologies: Cydarm was founded in 2018 by Vaughan Shanks, CEO, and Ben Waters, COO, after they recognized the increasing threat environment would draw regulatory scrutiny on how organizations managed incidents. The platform was conceived around the idea that organizations must collaborate more widely on incidents at different levels of trust and experience, and take an evidence-based approach to management. Cydarm is built for collaboration within and outside security operations centers. With new regulations, such as CIRCIA, and increasing numbers of data breaches, more stakeholders are involved in incident response. Cydarm implements attribute-based access control (ABAC) across its platform, so you can collaborate on-platform at different levels of trust and data access when managing cyber incidents. Companies choose Cydarm when: ✅ Senior management or third parties need to be involved in incident management. ✅ Fast and timely incident reporting and auditing is essential for regulatory reasons. ✅ Organizations in critical infrastructure or sensitive industries need a standalone, secure platform for cyber incident management. For more information on Cydarm, anonymously connect with the team on Sagetap for free.
