Show Notes

"Proud Geek; Hacker turned VC" is what Lucas Nelson, Founding Partner at Lytical Ventures intitulates himself. In this weeks' episode, Lucas shared with us how he turned his experience and passion for hacking into his full time career, firstly as an operatior, then as a VC specialized in the corporate intelligence space: cybersecurity, data analytics, and AI.

He also shares with us how spending in cybersecurity is growing at a fast rate, as CEO's are getting more scared of breaches. Acording to Lucas, "Good and bad cyber security looks very simular until somebody pokes a whole in it".

Tune in to learn about how he sees cybersecurity ventures in the different ecosystems, and what he realized about the space in Brazil, many years ago, when he spent a sabbatical in Brazil, to learn capoeira.
