CyRise Cyber Security Accelerator Program: Cohort 4 Announcement

3 min readSep 11, 2020

We’re thrilled to publicly announce the six teams selected for our 4th cohort for our accelerator program. With the support from our network and funding partners, Deakin University and NTT, we were able to conduct a rigorous search and selection process.

As you can imagine, the program will run a little differently this time — we’re 100% virtual. While there are some things we’ll miss about the in-person meetings, a virtual program has its benefits. A virtual program means it’s easier to get in diaries of people in industry, and easier for our founders to manage their day-to-day commitments.

We’ve condensed the program to 3 months this time, making it more intensive than ever. It goes without saying that we’re incredibly excited to welcome these founders into the fold.
