Started Siege in my living room. Bootstrapped using a home equity line of credit and some investment from cofounder and first employee. Scaled business from 0 to dozens of employees exclusively from customer funding. Siege developed innovative technologies in cyber quantification, penetration testing, anti-tamper, and numerous active cyber research areas such as moving target defense, blockchain, insider threat and others. Siege personnel developed deep expertise in a myriad of consumer and military technologies utilizing Intel, AMD, and ARM architectures and published talked on hypervisors, root of trust, system exploitation, and many other topics at places like Blackhat and other venues. Customers spanned across the department of defense, other government agencies, and large/small companies. Firm received numerous innovation/customer impact awards and hosted visits from senators and other interested officials. Oversaw and often contributed to the filing of multiple cyber security patents. Spun out technology to a VC-backed firm that raised 8 digits in funding to commercialize. Successfully identified and negotiated acquisition by Nehemiah Security (now ThreatConnect) in 2016.
