Today, Domingo runs his own seed-stage venture fund focused on cybersecurity, called Chispa VC. It always fascinates me how people become entrepreneurs, given that most of us just go to college and get a job. I wanted to start a company myself for the longest time, but I chickened out after Goldman Sachs offered me a job out of William & Mary. It took me until 2009 to finally stop waiting for permission and build something of my own. Domingo's story is the version where you take the leap much sooner, and it's a great one. If you'd like to connect with Domingo, the easiest way is to reach out to him on LinkedIn.
