CTM Insights is a research lab combined with an early stage technology studio and incubator, focused on new approaches to structural problems. We provide seed funding and guidance to prototype ideas that can Change The Model (CTM) to some of the tech's hardest problems in Cyber Security. Incubated ideas can result in IP licensing or ascompanies that continue on as independent entities.In addition to guidance and access to capital, CTM seeks to offer incubated ideas a set of shared services related to technology and market need validation, marketing, sales, go-to-market, beta customer capture, and conversion.Rather than a traditional venture capital focus on market clarity, CTM looks for clarity of a problem to be solved, an understanding of why current approaches are unlikely to meet the need, and a fundamentally new approach.CTM was founded in 2017 by Lou Steinberg, a serial entrepreneur and corporate executive.
