Tech Nation’s free Cyber 2.0 school seeks 25 start-ups

Tech Nation’s Cyber programme has launched for 2020 and is searching for another cohort of 25 infosec companies looking to scale at speed.

Supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and the Department for International Trade, Cyber 2.0 will help your security company explore growth with your industry peers, and sessions delivered by experts who’ve experienced all the ups and downs when building their own companies and organisations.

Speakers include founders of companies such as Darktrace, Garrison and Immersive Labs. With an average of £580,000 in earned revenue and £3m in raised funds per candidate in the Cyber 1.0 programme, there are good reasons to get involved. The six-month programme – which is completely free of charge for the 25 companies selected – includes 60 hours of support, delivered by over 20 coaches.

Peer networking means candidates can mix with and learn from peers, as well as coaches. Cyber’s alumni network – including such organisations as My1Login, SaltDNA and Crypta Labs – is also at your disposal for conversation and guidance.

Working with the DIT, delegates can be fast-tracked onto Trade Missions if applicable to your future plans. Bespoke promotional activity for your business, from editorial content to investor networking, is also available. New for Cyber 2.0, Young Leaders can also take advantage of exclusive meetups specially arranged for those just starting out.
