Kleida Martiro, Managing Director at Glasswing Ventures joins Secure Insights Podcast to share how she and her team think about backing the next generation of AI and cybersecurity startups. Glasswing is known for investing where AI meets real industry problems, and Kleida brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective on what it takes to build something meaningful in these spaces.

In the episode, she talks openly about what she looks for in founders people who truly understand the problem they're tackling, have the conviction to keep going when the path isn’t clear, and can balance technical understanding with a strong sense of the market. She highlights the importance of urgency, discipline, and being able to stay focused even when challenges are complex and fast-moving.

We also explore the AI Palette Framework, a new tool Glasswing is creating to help founders and business leaders make sense of AI in a more practical way. Kleida explains how it can guide teams toward real use cases and help investors understand what makes an AI product stable and worth betting on. It’s an honest, insightful conversation with someone who cares deeply about helping founders succeed.
