Excited to share the launch of Runtime Ventures ( https://t.co/sca224RQml), a VC fund focused on seed stage cyber. Dave Endler and I have been working on this for a couple of years and it's finally time to take the covers off.

Sitting on something that you’re desperate to share is hard. Today is a day I’ve been waiting for since David Endler and I started planning this next chapter nearly two years ago. In 2022 we began...

Did Jeff Bezos just use his #TNF purchase to dunk on Dan Snyder so that he can buy the team? Finally, a conspiracy theory I can get behind. #HTTC #TNFonPrime

Incredibly excited to add @limacharlieio to the StoneMill Ventures portfolio. When I heard the vision I had to recalibrate my view of the security market. Why buy a generic security solution when you can build a custom, purpose built solution? @limacharlieio will change the game.
The team at @limacharlieio is excited to announce that we have raised a $5.45m seed round from @SusaVentures @XeroxVentures @CoFoundPartners @LongJourneyVC Sands Capital @michaelawsutton and @LyticalVentures. Details here: https://t.co/jOzCriCWK6

Ever wondered how the research team at @RumbleDiscovery come up with fun ways to fingerprint devices or provide visibility into your network without authentication? You've got to go back to the roots of our founder @hdmoore. Check out this episode of @DarknetDiaries.
Ep 114: HD @hdmoore invented a hacking tool called Metasploit. He crammed it with tons of exploits and payloads that can be used to hack into computers. What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/H3dknjydCf

In light of the Russian ground invasion of Ukraine, we (@GreyNoise) are doing a few things to be as helpful as possible for network defenders in Ukraine. I understand that the impact will be small all things considered, but this is just where we are:
