Secure Ventures with Kyle McNulty · 2026-03-10 · 40 min
In this episode I talk to Jack Austin, founder of surf forecasting company Duune. If you are only interested in hearing from cyber founders, this episode is not for you. However, Jack works in cybersecurity full-time at F5 Networks, and this is very much a passion project in an industry he cares deeply about. We discuss his decision to start a company outside of cybersecurity, his tactics for taking on a large incumbent such as hyperlocalization, his marketing strategy reliant on community building with a social-first footprint, and more. We had fun with it, so I hope that comes through for the audience! If you live in LA and want access to the best local surf forecasts available, check out the website or download the mobile app.
