companies had healthy growth despite the headwinds in 1H 2020: Sixgill
(+79%), SpyCloud (+59%), DarkOwl (+48%), Recorded Future (+45%).

of an economic slowdown due to COVID-19 led investors and their
portfolio companies to restrict hiring at many firms. Overall headcount
growth of 3% in 1H is a positive sign.
