On the back<\/span> of pretty strong earnings reports and valuations, public cybersecurity companies are outperforming the broader technology segment. Yet, funding for cybersecurity startups has flatlined.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting issue that is worth taking a moment to consider. This morning, let\u2019s look at how cybersecurity companies have performed, as well as a number of datasets regarding Q1 2023 venture capital investment to understand why investments have been tepid in this sector despite stellar results from the companies.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a>Sounds good? To work!<\/p>\n
How to make a lot of money in the technology game<\/h2>\n
If you want to earn truckloads of cash selling software today, I wouldn\u2019t recommend making an API to connect a blockchain to the e-sports world. Both of those sectors are struggling after a period of overinvestment and hype, though I hope both rise again: The former because it would be entertaining in a business context, and the latter because I am a huge nerd who is patiently waiting for a Starcraft revival.<\/p>\n
No, if you wanted to make a lot of money in the technology game today, you would build and sell cybersecurity products.<\/p>\n
The evidence is clear. Cybersecurity is chugging along quite smoothly, even as the largest tech companies muddle along<\/a> and Zoom figures out how to grow again<\/a> after one of the most impressive runs in corporate history.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
