Abbey Labs, Interview With Co-Founder & CEO Arvil Nagpal
Summary
In conjunction with the announcement, we reached Co-Founder & CEO Arvil Nagpal, who replied to our questions about the company, the product they offer, the funding, business achievements, and future plans. We started Abbey Labs to solve a problem that our customers faced, and that Jeff lived first-hand, namely, that engineers were spending far too much time on access management instead of their core responsibilities. Our angel investors include Emilio Escobar, CISO at Datadog, Harold Gimenez, SVP of Engineering at Hashicorp, Pete Soderling, Founder of Data Council, Margaret Francis, former CPO at dbt labs, Savin Goyal, CTO of Outerbounds), Kamal Shah, former CEO of Stackrox,, Chip Huyen, CEO of Claypot AI, , Ryan Carlson, former CMO of Okta and Wiz, Jon Oberheide, founder of Duo, and many more. Based on data around who people are, their history, how they login, the strength of their 2FA factors, their location, and other variables, we’re able to define in real-time the ideal workflow for that access decision. We’ll support how the world works today, deploying Grant Kits for every company, every user, and every resource, as a means of collecting the rich data sets through which autonomous automation is built on.
