Raj (CEO, Jetstream): Two Traffic Lights to $34M — and Why CrowdStrike Funded the Founder Who Left

Episode Notes

Raj grew up in a town in India with two traffic lights. He's now the CEO of Jetstream, a cybersecurity startup he founded after leaving CrowdStrike, which then turned around and invested in his company.

In this conversation: his mother's anything less than #1 pressure, the failures behind the successes (a WhatsApp competitor he didn't build, Cylance's missteps), the July 19th CrowdStrike outage and what it taught him about leadership, why he believes older founders have the real edge, and the five core values (CRUSH) he built Jetstream around.

A masterclass on differentiation, conviction, and starting a company in your late forties.
