Nowi Kallen stands out for his global approach—having lived on three continents and based in London, he looks past the usual startup hubs for remote-first companies in less charted territory, with a strong focus on security and cloud infrastructure backed by concrete technical details, like Wiz's agentless architecture or Upwind's runtime-based system that filters out most alert noise. His background mixes security-focused M&A and IPO banking at Barclays with growth investing at Vitruvian Partners, and he's also known for helping non-U.S. startups navigate the tricky parts of expanding into the U.S. market, a combination that sets him apart from most venture investors.
