About Robert Ackerman Jr.

Robert Ackerman Jr. is known as the "father of the first iPhone" through InfoGear and founded what became the first venture firm to focus exclusively on cybersecurity in 2015, giving him unusually long pattern recognition in cyber investing. He co-founded DataTribe, a startup studio that commercializes cyber innovations from the U.S. Intelligence Community and national labs, providing him a unique pipeline into government-grade technology distinct from traditional venture deal flow.
