Ed Sim, Boldstart Ventures (#9)

Years ago, Ed Sim recognized that the digital world would need a robust ecosystem of security and infrastructure products to keep things running smoothly and protect consumers and businesses. Since founding Boldstart in 2010, he has invested early in startups meeting those challenges – and in many cases, been hands-on since day one.

One of his most successful early-stage bets was his participation in Snyk’s $3 million seed round in 2016 – the company is now valued at $7.4 billion. He also invested early in BlockDaemon, valued at $3.3 billion, and data intelligence company BigID, valued at $1.3 billion. He still serves on the board of all three.
