When my parter Ted Schlein led Ballistic Ventures' seed round investment in Mimic, we knew co-founders Derek Smith and Bob Blakley were not just focused on a big market but also something that impacts our very way of life: #ransomeware While other companies thought about tackling a piece of the ransomeware problem, Derek and Bob set out to address it holistically: from pre-attack impact simulation, to early detection, deflection and finally rapid recovery. Excited to have our friends at Menlo Ventures and GV (Google Ventures) as co-leads of Mimic's series A! cc: Kevin Mandia, Barmak Meftah, Roger Thornton, Nicole Perlroth, David Hahn, Michelle L.
