Investing in Infrastructure and Dev Tools with Timothy Chen

Venture capital investment has continued to flow into technology startups.  No one builds technology from scratch.  There are cloud services, software libraries, 3rd party services, and software platforms that modern entrepreneurs must adopt to build their products efficiently and quickly.  These layers of infrastructure are a key area for many investors.

In this episode, I interview Tim Chen, managing partner of Essence VC, a venture fund on a mission to help highly technical founders go from zero to one.  We discuss his approach to investment in infrastructure companies, developer tools, and similar areas for early-stage investments.

Are you ready to build innovative apps and accelerate your app dev career? You’re invited to join the global community of developers at the virtual OutSystems Developer Conference to learn, connect, and build the future of software development. OSDC is a conference on November 17-18 by developers, for developers and focuses exclusively on what you want to learn. Plus, this will be the biggest OutSystems developer conference yet with more than 50 sessions and 5+ tracks. Make sure you register today. Plus, the event is 100% virtual and 100% free! Visit outsystems.com/sedaily to learn more about the event and claim your free ticket. Hope to see you there!

Your app has users.  You owe it to them to take their security seriously. Do you want your authentication system to be something your developers built as a side project? Or do you want an enterprise-grade solution that has compliance, security, and industry standards built-in as first principles? I’m describing Auth0, an identity platform built for developers. Your development team’s time is a scarce resource. Don’t waste it reinventing the wheel. With Auth0 you can save hundreds or thousands of hours in implementation and maintenance. With this premier solution for identity, you can configure advanced features like social login, single sign-on, and multi-factor authentication. Focus on what you’re good at and let Auth0 manage what they’re best at – helping you deliver the best, safest user experience possible. Make login their problem, not yours. Visit auth0.com to learn more.

What if you could mimic your entire production database to create a realistic dataset with zero sensitive data? Tonic.ai does exactly that. With Tonic, you can generate fake data that looks, acts, and behaves like production because it’s made from production. How does Tonic do it? Connect to any database, anywhere, and have Tonic automatically de-identify and mask your data to create the perfect test dataset. Sleep better at night knowing that if your test data is compromised, your sensitive data can’t be reverse-engineered. And everyone has the data they need to focus on what they do best: building features without the security risk. Visit softwareengineeringdaily.com/tonic to sign up for a free trial.
