Connected devices have been eating the world for decades. As we grow more connected and the number of devices we rely on increases, the potential is greater for bad actors to access and exploit our data. It impacts everything from national security, to supply chain, to enterprise, and to government. In this edition of Startup Grind, we go in depth with the Founder and CEO of Finite State, Matt Wyckhouse, to talk about his startup journey, the challenges when solving this complex of a problem, and the future of IoT.

Finite State recently raised $12.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Energy Impact Partners, who were joined by Zetta Venture Partners, cybersecurity veteran Niloofar Howe, and other undisclosed investors.
