Tampa Bay Wave, a nonprofit technology accelerator, has selected 16 cybersecurity startups for its CyberTech|X 2024 Accelerator program.
This year’s cohort includes startups from Florida, California, New York and Virginia, plus international regions like Spain, Chile and Canada.
The CyberTech|X 2024 Accelerator program is supported by a $2 million federal grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration which aims to foster regional innovation clusters in cybersecurity, fintech and healthtech.
Each participant in the CyberTech|X 2024 Accelerator program will benefit from a comprehensive three-month business accelerator experience, designed for founders by founders. This experience includes mentoring, sales training, pitch coaching and investor introductions, culminating in a Pitch Night on March 28, where the startups will present their innovative solutions to a gathering of investors, community members and industry leaders.
The CyberTech|X 2024 Accelerator program launched this week.
The program is supported by key funding partners including A-LIGN, KnowBe4, EY and strategic partners such as Bank of America, Cyber Florida, Digital Hands, 360 Advanced and USF Muma College of Business. Additionally, the cohort gains insights from the CyberTech|X Advisory Council, featuring cybersecurity experts and representatives from program funding partners.
