*** TO SAVE TIME FOR ALL, I’M NOT INTERESTED IN RECRUITERS OR OUTSOURCED DEVELOPMENT. *** After over twenty years as an operator and founder Andrew cofounded Aviso Ventures to invest in the next generation of software infrastructure startups ups. With dozens of follow along funding rounds on the board from portfolio companies, Fund 1 is a top performing fund in its class. He’s actively raising and deploying Fund 2. Before Aviso, Andrew was CEO and Co-Founder of Signal Sciences and led the company in the creation of their industry-defining technology platform to protect websites/mobile apps/APIs which was acquired for $825M by Fastly in 2020. Prior to Signal Sciences, Andrew has been building leading edge, highly performing product and sales teams across five continents for 20 years with such companies as Etsy, Google, and the Clinton Foundation. He also authored a book with O’Reilly publishing called "Cracking Security Misconceptions" to encourage non-security professionals to participate in organizational security. He graduated from Stanford University with a BA in Science, Technology, and Society and was a PAC 10 Champion with the varsity swim team.

After serving as an entrepreneur and a venture capitalist, I founded Decibel as an independent venture capital firm in partnership with Cisco to push the conventional boundaries of early stage investing. Decibel combines the speed, agility, and independent risk-taking traditionally found in the best venture firms, while offering differentiated access to the scale, entrepreneurial talent, and deep customer relationships found in one of the largest tech companies in the world. This approach is an industry first and provides a unique way for entrepreneurs to get access to unparalleled resources at a time and stage when they need it most.
