Join us in welcoming our first post-pandemic startup crew!
Five teams hailing from Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne have launched themselves wholeheartedly into an intensive 14-week program, meeting cyber founders, CISOs, investors and subject matter experts in their quest for rapid global growth.
“The quality of the teams just continues to rise. 100% of the teams coming into the program have existing revenue, with more than half having customers spread across multiple countries.” — Scott Handsaker, CEO
To earn a place in the CyRise accelerator, which is backed by NTT and Deakin University, each startup must be focussed on high value problems and bring a unique vision to the market.
The areas of coverage include drone security, IoT visibility and awareness, security training, payments compromise and network performance and security.
The following teams have been selected:
