TAMPA, FL & JACKSONVILLE, FL (January 19, 2021) – Cybercrime is growing at an eye popping pace, with damage related to cybercrime projected to hit $6 trillion in 2021 alone*.
Tampa Bay Wave (Wave) is rising to the challenge by kicking off its inaugural CyberTech|X Accelerator program today, comprising fifteen promising cybersecurity technology companies from across the United States and United Kingdom.
Formed with the vision of establishing Tampa Bay’s reputation as a nationally-recognized hub for cybersecurity talent and innovation, the new cybersecurity program was created with help from a $100,000 gift from local entrepreneur and ConnectWise founder, Arnie Bellini and his wife, Lauren Bellini, through their foundation, Bellini Better World. Other key funding partners include A-LIGN, KnowBe4 and EY; plus strategic partners: Aditum, Bank of America, Cyber Florida, Jabil, Raymond James, SYKES Enterprises and University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business.
The 2021 CyberTech|X Accelerator is a virtual 90-day program and offers companies access to key resources such as a dedicated Cohort Director, one-on-one mentoring with notable tech founders, sales training, pitch coaching and investor introductions in an environment designed to support high-scale growth. Companies in the accelerator program will also participate in Wave’s Demo Day at the conclusion of the program on April 23 to pitch their companies to an audience of accredited investors, venture capitalists and other cybersecurity industry leaders.
The program will also serve as a link between the region’s tech startup community and other cybersecurity workforce development efforts, such as the University of South Florida cybersecurity degree programs and Cyber Florida.
Beyond the 90-day program, accelerator participants will also receive ongoing support through Tampa Bay Wave’s virtual CORE membership which provides year-round critical mentorship, strategic introductions to investors and customers, and other valuable services to further accelerate company development.
“Tampa Bay Wave is proud to launch this new accelerator program that will not only provide support to innovative cybersecurity startups throughout the US and beyond, but also showcase the growing cluster of cybersecurity firms already in the region.” said Linda Olson, president and founder of Tampa Bay Wave. “Programs like the CyberTech|X Accelerator can go a long way to further cultivate and develop tech and cybersecurity talent here in Tampa Bay. “
The CyberTech|X Accelerator is the newest accelerator program offered by Tampa Bay Wave, the only Florida-based accelerator program accepted into GAN (gan.co), a network of the most respected accelerators around the world.
Startups selected for this inaugural cohort are geographically diverse, with thirteen companies headquartered outside of Florida, including one located in London, England. While some of the startups are in the early revenue stages, others are currently generating more than 1 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Many of the founders include serial entrepreneurs with previous exits, former C suite executives and doctorate program graduates.
Tauruseer is one of fifteen companies participating in the 2021 CyberTech|X Accelerator cohort.
Participating companies will benefit from the Tampa Bay Wave’s new CyberTech|X Advisory Council, made up of cybersecurity experts from Wave’s Mentor Network, as well as other representatives from the program’s funding partners and other strategic partners.
