Leaders Fund

Trust is at the centre of everything we do Without it, no business can succeed, and to earn it, businesses must prove that they are operating with it For technology providers, SOC-2, ISO, and HIPPA have become the global certifications by which companies showcase their compliance to earn their customers’ trust However, compliance is incredibly burdensome, expensive, and distracting for companies to achieve and maintain Drata co-founders Adam Markowitz, Troy Markowitz, and Daniel Marashlian set out to help businesses establish trust by achieving and maintaining necessary security certifications (SOC2, ISO, etc ) while dramatically   reducing the effort to reach and maintain compliance Today, in addition to SOC 2, they support ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA Since we invested in their Seed round, Drata has raised  $125 million, and was most recently valued at $1 billion

We first met founders Andy Powell and Kevin Mann around the same time we launched Leaders Fund It was clear they had no intention of raising capital then, but what was also clear was that these were two individuals we wanted to work with In 2017, after scaling their business rapidly and profitably, they were ready for capital + support Along with Sageview Capital, we were the first institutional check in CallRail, helping them accelerate their growth and maintain market leadership in the Call Tracking & Marketing Analytics segment ‍ CallRail’s initial product is Call Tracking, which generates and inputs unique numbers (DNI) to marketing campaigns to help marketers understand who their callers are, why they’re calling, and which action drove that interaction In addition, their product line includes Form Tracking, Conversation Intelligence, and Lead Center, providing their customers with a more effective marketing platform and a holistic view into the efficacy and success of their marketing spend

We first met Founder/CEO - Jason Atkins well before the founding of Leaders Fund During his time running and selling a marketing agency, he found that many of his clients struggled with their legacy channel marketing and consumer incentive platforms They didn't provide automation of the programs, fraud detection, analytics, and connectivity between programs Today, 360Insights enables leading brands to design, build, analyze and optimize their channel incentive programs They offer the only integrated platform that goes from authorizing transactions to providing channel incentive insights They're trusted by 350+ global brands and are considered as the leading pure play channel incentive technology company
