I’m currently bootstrapping my startup with my cofounder. For context my startup is in the security and authentication space and we plan to sell to financial service businesses. It’s early and we both still have our day jobs. My day job will pay for pretty much any cert & training I want.
So my question is: should I pursue a certification like Security+? Is it actually helpful in terms of filling in gaps in my knowledge + will potential buyers and investors look more favorably on a startup that has a founder with such a credential?
Follow up question: Is security+ the right credential or should I be looking at something else?
It really depends on the meeting
If you are co founder having a meeting to potential costumer I hope you know your stuff.
When consulting firm checks the credentials There might be few questions and concerns.
There is lot of security firms with same products.
I hope you have really good story to tell
