What you likely need
You're an early-stage founder with deep enterprise security and product experience, now building Ferentin in a competitive AI security market. Your strongest asset is 20 years of hands-on product work at Zscaler, Okta, and Samsung — but Ferentin is pre-revenue and pre-funding, so your immediate priority is validating the market and securing your first institutional check. Establishing a public signal around your traction will be critical to standing out.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingPrepare a seed-round pitch deck leveraging your Zscaler and Okta enterprise network to target security-focused seed funds like Cyber Mentor Fund, Forgepoint Capital, or YC's next batch.
- positioningSharpen Ferentin's positioning around identity-based Zero Trust for agentic AI runtimes — this is a narrow, defensible wedge that differentiates from Zscaler and Okta's existing offerings.
- introsLeverage your existing relationships at Zscaler's 250+ customer base and Okta's enterprise network to land 3–5 design-partner pilots before raising.
- tacticalPublish open-source tooling or demos related to Ferentin's LLM access control on GitHub to build developer credibility and inbound interest — your current repos have minimal stars.
- positioningWrite publicly about AI agent security and Zero Trust for LLMs on LinkedIn or a personal blog — your 2,000+ followers are a ready audience and enterprise buyers research founders before signing.
- hiringFerentin currently has 1 employee — prioritize hiring a founding engineer with security or ML infrastructure experience to accelerate the product beyond prototype stage.
- tacticalApply to Y Combinator with Ferentin — your enterprise security background and the AI security thesis are well-aligned with YC's current investment focus.
