<p><strong><span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">SAN FRANCISCO</span></span></strong> &#8212; <u><a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&;l=en&;o=4193363-1&;h=1437084858&;u=https%3A%2F%2Fballisticventures.com%2F&;a=Ballistic+Ventures" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ballistic Ventures</a></u>, a venture capital firm dedicated exclusively to funding cybersecurity startups, announced that <u><a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&;l=en&;o=4193363-1&;h=1000289236&;u=https%3A%2F%2Fballisticventures.com%2Fteam%2Fnicole-perlroth%2F&;a=Nicole+Perlroth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span class="xn-person">Nicole Perlroth</span></a></u> has been appointed to Venture Partner. The new role for Perlroth, who previously served as an advisor to Ballistic, deepens her work with the firm.</p>
<p>&#8220;In advising Ballistic&#8217;s portfolio companies in the fund&#8217;s early days, it became clear to me this was not just another cyber fund,&#8221; said Perlroth. &#8220;We share a mission: To scour the earth in search of the visionaries and talent primed to take on the most complex threat landscape of our lifetimes. That&#8217;s why I joined them as an advisor in the fund&#8217;s infancy and why I&#8217;m thrilled to dig into my expanded role here.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Venture Partner, Perlroth will work alongside Ballistic portfolio company founders and their teams to help them build and scale, with a focus on market differentiation and breaking through industry noise. Prior to her work with Ballistic, Perlroth spent a decade as the lead cybersecurity reporter at The <span class="xn-org">New York Times</span>. Her investigations have rooted out nation-state attacks on organizations and infrastructure worldwide. In 2021, she published her <span class="xn-org">New York Times</span> bestselling book, &#8220;<u><a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&;l=en&;o=4193363-1&;h=2098009832&;u=https%3A%2F%2Fthisishowtheytellmetheworldends.com%2F&;a=This+Is+How+They+Tell+Me+The+World+Ends" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends</a></u>,&#8221; about the global cyber arms race. She actively serves on the Cybersecurity Advisory Committee for the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (<u><a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&;l=en&;o=4193363-1&;h=2453951226&;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisa.gov%2Fcybersecurity-advisory-committee-csac-members&;a=CISA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CISA</a></u>). Perlroth has personally advised and invested in over a dozen cybersecurity startups and will continue to lead her independent cyber mission fund, Silver Buckshot Ventures.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nicole&#8217;s deep industry knowledge, close-knit network and award-winning storytelling make her the perfect partner for our firm and portfolio companies,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Ted Schlein</span>, Co-founder and General Partner of Ballistic Ventures. &#8220;Deepening our relationship is a testament to our commitment to investing in exceptional talent within the cyber industry.&#8221;</p>
