Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Barak Schoster, Bridgecrew

Barak Schoster claims he's generally a boring guy. What he does professionally, he also loves to do in his free time - which is coding. He contributes regularly to open source projects. Outside of this, he loves sea kayaking, and equates the ups and downs of the sport to software engineering. He is married with 2 sons, both under 5 years old. They are into building puzzles together and playing ball, as they are sporty kids. Barak and his wife like to visit restaurants, watch movies together, and thoroughly enjoys going to rock concerts. His favorite rock band is Guns and Roses, but his favorite concerts have been U2 and Imagine Dragons.

In February 2019, Barak and his co-founders started their companies journey by asking the question - how do you secure your cloud environment? What they found was their experience with fixing these environments were similar to the market, and no solution had been created for streamlining this process, much less optimizing and automating it where possible.

This is the creation story of Bridgecrew.

The U.S. has refused. So has NATO. Why? 


On today’s episode, Eli Lake and Damir Marusic explain the benefits and risks of imposing a no fly zone over Ukraine, and what’s at stake—for Ukraine, for the U.S., and for the world.
