Recruit Rockstars 368: This VC-Backed CEO Saves You From Ransomware


When Joshua Motta’s dentist was attacked by ransomware, demanding $200K to open the files, he found it was cheaper to just shut his practice & retire.
Sad.
So Joshua’s doing something about it.
He’s CEO & Co-Founder of Coalition. Based in SF, his fast-growing company now has 130 employees.
It provides Cyber & Technology Insurance (up to $15 million of coverage) with reinsurance partners Lloyd’s of London and Swiss Re Group.
And he’s onto something big.
Coalition’s investors include Felicis Ventures, Hillhouse Capital Group, Ribbit Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, Sam Altman, and Greyhound Capital
Prior, Joshua worked at Francisco Partners & IGNIA Partners. So he understands the perspectives of both a sophisticated investor, and an entrepreneur.
