INTERVIEWER
How much rewriting do you do?
HEMINGWAY
It depends. I rewrote the ending to Farewell to Arms, the last page of it, thirty-nine times before I was satisfied.
INTERVIEWER
… What was it that had stumped you?

Getting the words right.

The current fear mongering in venture is wrong.
It is driven by group psychology; a lot of it is self-serving.
Every foundational element needed to build & grow a startup is compounding.
In 10 years, these startups will compound to a size & value that we cannot imagine today.

btw: YC's still accepting applications, and if you're even considering applying, I'd really recommend it. The application itself forces good conversations, and YC truly inflected Vanta's growth.

Most folks who spitball about starting a podcast over beers don’t end up putting on a stadium show for said podcast within five years. Really fun to hear Acquired’s origins from Ben and David.

Once a year or so, we turn the tables and have someone interview *us*.
This time, it was @christinacaci at the @TrustVanta all hands!
We talked:
- Lessons learned building the show
- What growth has looked like
- Our own origin story :) acquired.fm/episodes/rever

We're looking for a GPM to join and work with us on new products that help companies improve their security. This is 0 to 1 product work, full of ambiguity, time with users, and an all-star EPD crew. More boards.greenhouse.io/vanta/jobs/597, DMs open.

Another small improvement in : a deeper integration that automatically pulls in monitoring data. Fewer screenshots, more reasonable security practices.
