How does Laika balance short-term growth and long-term sustainability given funding influx in the space?

We respect what everyone is working on. It is a validation for the market and the pain points that exist. Our differentiators lie in our integrated audit and our understanding of compliance. 

It isn’t a check-the-box SOC 2 exercise, but a more comprehensive one that answers, “How do we demonstrate compliance to enterprise software buyers? How do we continuously monitor compliance, even if it's not part of an explicit audit? How do we make the audit process itself more seamless, and create efficiency on both the company and the auditor side?” That's what we did over the past two years.

There's definitely some land-grab dynamic here, and it could be hand-to-hand combat in some cases. But overall, I'm glad that people are finally paying attention to this market and this problem, which excites me. 

We make compliance a little less intimidating, ensuring that the entrepreneurs who run fantastic companies and who’re our customers, can focus on their own innovations and not suffer brain damage worrying about compliance. That ultimately, is what makes us smile. That’s why we exist.
