About this episode

Welcome to the Microsoft for Startups Spotlight, brought to you by N2K CyberWire and Microsoft. In this episode, we are shining a light on innovation, ambition, and the tech trailblazers building the future right from the startup trenches. This episode is part of our exclusive RSAC series where we dive into the real world impact of the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. 

Along with Microsoft’s Kevin Magee, Dave Bittner talks with an entrepreneur and startup veteran, and founders from three incredible startups who are part of the Founders Hub, each tackling big problems with even bigger ideas. 

Dave and Kevin set the stage speaking with startup veteran and Cygenta co-founder FC about making the leap from hacker to entrepreneur. Dave and Kevin then speak with three founders: Matthew Chiodi of Cerby, Travis Howerton of RegScale, and Karl Mattson of Endor Labs. So whether you are building your own startup or just love a good innovation story, listen in. For more information, visit the Microsoft for Startups website.
