Notes for the Record

The Pylon Group, an advisory and software studio for cybersecurity, technology, and AI, opens for business today with two software platforms generally available and a senior advisory practice in market. The firm operates on a single thesis: the same practitioner who writes the strategy deck should be the one writing the product roadmap.

Pylon is built around the overlap between advisory and software. The practitioner's view comes from the place where the two meet, and the tools we ship are the ones we wished existed when we ran those programs ourselves. Dan Costantino · Founder and CEO
