The AWS & CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Accelerator, managed via the Vestbee platform, is an equity-free program aimed at empowering early-stage cybersecurity startups from the EMEA region and the United States.
It offers seed companies a rare opportunity to receive mentorship, technical expertise and go-to-market support from two of the most influential players in cloud security and cybersecurity—Amazon Web Services (AWS) and CrowdStrike. The program is particularly suited to startups focusing on areas such as cloud security, application security, identity protection, data security and emerging threat-detection technologies.
Participants will engage in an intensive 8-week online format, with some in-person components including a kick-off event and demo day. Throughout the program, startups will work closely with AWS solution architects, CrowdStrike executives, and other industry experts, gaining access to deep technical guidance, market insights and investor networks. In addition, participants receive access to significant cloud-credits and tools to accelerate product development and scaling. At the end of the cycle, startups will pitch at a major industry event, offering them visibility and potential further investment opportunities.
Startups interested in the accelerator should have a clearly defined product or solution that addresses a cybersecurity challenge, and the readiness to engage with corporate and enterprise customers. The application process opens periodically, and selected companies will be expected to commit time, leadership and the resources to make meaningful progress during the accelerator period. Founders who participate will not only build their technical roadmap but also refine their business strategy, develop relationships with potential partners and investors, and position themselves for growth in a competitive global market.
In short, this accelerator presents a strong opportunity for cybersecurity startups seeking to scale their business, deepen their technological foundations and access influential global ecosystems. With no equity requirement, high-level support from industry leaders and a structured path to advancement, eligible startups are encouraged to apply and advance their trajectory in the cybersecurity domain.
