Episode Summary: Merav Ben Avi, VP of Marketing at YL Ventures, makes a strong case for something most security founders get wrong: marketing should not come later. It should be there from the start. She explains why hiring too late creates messy positioning, weak launches, and marketers stuck fixing confusion instead of shaping the story. The first marketing hire is not there to run campaigns. They are there to define why the company exists while everything is still taking shape. Merav also gets into why product marketing is not always the first hire, what founders miss when evaluating marketers, and why “AI solves everything” messaging is already wearing thin with CISOs. If you're building or joining an early-stage security startup, this will challenge how you think about your first marketing hire!
