Reflecting on the completion of the third Cyber Xcelerator program, we are filled with pride and gratitude for the journey we’ve embarked on over the past three years, in collaboration with CDP Venture Capital, the venture arm of the Italian investment bank CDP (Cassa Depositi e Prestiti).
We kicked of The third and final batch in Cosenza Italy. Our program saw the inclusion of five cyber startups, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Over the past four months, these teams have experienced an intensive curriculum that combined both in-person and online sessions. Each team was provided with a funding ticket of up to 100K EUR, consisting of cash and program investments, with the possibility of additional follow-on investments.
The program was marked with remarkable diversity and impact, bringing together five teams from six countries: Italy, Iran, Estonia, Latvia, the UK, and Chile. This blend of 15 founders, including two female co-founders, benefited from the expertise of over 25 mentors through more than 110 personalized sessions and over 200 hours of workshops and training. This rich ecosystem fostered innovation and equipped participants with the tools to address cybersecurity challenges, highlighting the program’s commitment to diversity, learning, and global collaboration in the tech industry.
