NVIDIA Joins to support next generation of global cloud security companies
Global cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike announced it is accepting applications for its second annual Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator with Amazon WebServices (AWS). This year NVIDIA is supporting the program to advance the participants in the next generation of artificial intelligence and cloud security.
“CrowdStrike and AWS created the Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator as a formative, value-creation experience for innovative startups to learn, create and grow. Since participating in the Accelerator, last year’s cohort participants raised over $150 million from leading global VCs,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike.
Accelerator participants represent the U.S. Europe, Middle East, and Asia, receiving mentorship, technical expertise, funding, and go-to-market opportunities. They are enrolled in a free eight-week online program developed by AWS, CrowdStrike, and NVIDIA. The startups will interface with top-tier global cybersecurity investors, have enablement sessions, and receive up to $25,000 in AWS Activate credits, among other benefits.
“For startups seeking to tackle the most pressing security challenges, the Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator provides the AI technologies, accelerated computing resources, and technical expertise they need,” said Bartley Richardson, director of cybersecurity engineering at NVIDIA.
At the end of the program, participants present their innovations at an in-person Demo Day at the AWS Startup Loft in San Francisco, taking place during the RSA Conference in April 2025. The winners are eligible to receive funding from the CrowdStrike Falcon® Fund, the largest corporate venture arm in the cybersecurity industry.
An ecosystem of next-generation security leaders will emerge, sharing a common mission gained from a unique combination of investment and deep technical integrations with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
Applications for the AWS and CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator with NVIDIA are open from September 16, 2024 to January 10, 2025
