Michael Janke #71 Co-founder, DataTribe Michael Janke, a former Navy SEAL, said he got a thrill-seeking rush by investing in cybersecurity startups. “I find the adrenaline and stacked odds against a small team very addictive to be around,” he said. The most rewarding part, he says, is drawing upon his years of experience in special operations and as a six-time founder of technology and security startups to help other entrepreneurs surmount the challenges he once faced. In October, one of his portfolio companies, Dragos, announced a $200 million round led by BlackRock and the investment arm of Koch Industries that valued the startup at $1.7 billion.
