The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) announced today that MACH37™, America’s first market-centric cybersecurity accelerator, will begin taking applications on June 6 for its inaugural 90-day session starting September 16, 2013.
Pete Jobse, CIT President & CEO, said, “The creation of the MACH37™ recognizes that cybersecurity is not only one of our Nation’s top security priorities, but also one of the most significant innovation challenges facing a networked society. The creation of new cybersecurity products is the only path forward to ensure continued advances in network-based communication services.”
Jobse said that the accelerator models successful practices used in existing accelerators, such as the Y Combinator, TechStars and 500 Startups. It takes candidates, or cohort companies, through an intensive three-month program that transforms innovative cybersecurity product ideas into validated, investment-grade early-stage companies positioned to be the next generation of cybersecurity providers.
