Florida Funders Managing Partner and "Skin in the Game VC" podcast host Tom Wallace believes that entrepreneurs are game changers and that the companies they envision, create and build make the world a better place. Florida Funders is a venture capital firm and angel network that invests in early stage technology companies. Traditionally, angel investors have not had equal access to the amount of proprietary, vetted deal flow and investment opportunities like a professional venture investor. This podcast was envisioned to educate, connect and activate accredited investors to get skin in the game and invest like a VC.

All Gas, No Brakes: Scott Price on Building A-lign into a Cybersecurity Powerhouse

A-lign founder and CEO Scott Price joins Tom Wallace and Saxon Baum to unpack the “all gas, no brakes” journey behind building a category leader in cybersecurity compliance. Scott traces his roots from Arthur Andersen and the Enron fallout to bootstrapping through 2009, landing the first clients, and evolving from SOC 2 mainstay to a broader, tech-enabled platform. He shares candid lessons from a re-traded 2017 deal, why outside capital served as market validation, and how partnering with FTV and later HG set the stage for scale enterprise expansion, European growth, and smart M&A. We dig into frameworks over tools for AI risk, the rise of CMMC and federal standards, and how Tampa’s defense ecosystem fuels elite cybersecurity talent. Plus, leadership chemistry with a CFO, why second acts aren’t automatically easier, and a lightning round on Bitcoin, AI’s job impact, and the China tech challenge. A masterclass in grit, governance, and growth forward.
