ABOUT LAURENT HAUSERMANN

If you build or invest cybersecurity in Europe, this is for you.You don’t need more noise.You need proof that moves a market.Our challenge here isn’t talent or money.It’s playbooks that don’t fit our terrain: fragmented markets, fewer acquirers, slower trust cycles.That’s how good teams end up in pilot purgatory and “growth theatre.”There’s a better way:Build with users. Sit next to them, not across the table.Ship weekly. Small proofs beat big promises.Let revenue and unit economics shape decisions.Design for cross-border from day one. Europe is EU30, not one country.How I work with founders and operator-investors- Co-build with customers (Design Partners). Long-term relationships, plus an 8–12 week decision sprint to a priced go/no-go- Make the proposition unmistakable - different, not better- Instrument the golden metrics from customer #1 (payback, margin, retention, cycle time, win rate, continuity ROI)- Seed EU30 beachheads in the first two quarters - often before company creation - to run parallel trust cycles.Who this helps- Operator-angels / exited founders: turn experience into capital and operating leverage. Put your name behind a champion you’d be proud to own- Family offices: translate cyber risk into continuity and cashflow, not jargon- PE & FoF: venture creation with PE-grade discipline - cost awareness, repeatable GTM, lower concentration risk.I’m demanding because teams deserve clarity.Former amateur rugby player - team first, high standards, low ego.European. Our long history: craft, resilience, networks, is an edge in a chaotic world.Proof, not posturing:Co-founded Sentryo → acquired by Cisco.Helped grow Arkoon → acquired by Airbus.Led IoT Security engineering at Cisco (Cyber Vision).I share field notes at Cyber Builders and co-build with operator-investors and founders across Europe.No fear-mongering. No public fund pitches.Just builders building, together.If you prefer building over betting, let’s talk.
