Hi guys, would love the opinion of cyber insurance brokers here.

The story so far: i was looking to connect with cyber insurance brokers (I’m a cybersecurity consultant) and I heard that brokers often work with consultants to help their prospects get insurance-ready helping the broker close more business and for us consultants to work with people who actually need our help urgently.

The only thing is, I can’t for the life of me seem to find cyber brokers to connect with on LinkedIn? I found maybe 10-20 max with the title “cyber insurance broker”

Am I missing some sort of niche knowledge here? Are their job titles typically called something else?

Got approached by two VC firms out of nowhere, not sure what to make of it.

I run a small security consultancy and wasn't really expecting this. Two separate VC firms reached out recently. one wants help evaluating portco security during due diligence, the other asked if we offer "perks" for their portfolio companies (still not 100% sure what that means practically).

I said yes to both but I'm kind of figuring it out as I go. Has anyone navigated this before? What does the engagement actually look like day-to-day? Any landmines I should know about before I'm in too deep?

Also, is working with PE firms similar to VC?
