CrowdStrike has launched an equity free Amazon Web Services (AWS) & CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator for EMEA-based startups. Created to foster and fuel cybersecurity’s next market-defining disruptors, the new AWS & CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator cohort, will offer customized mentorship, technical expertise and partnership opportunities, as part of AWS Startup Loft Accelerator (SLA) program. High-potential early-stage cybersecurity companies could also get funding from CrowdStrike’s strategic investment vehicle, the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
Applications for the AWS & CrowdStrike Cybersecurity Accelerator is open from September 27 to October 31, 2023. To apply, visit this website. Selected startups will be enrolled in a free 10-week no cost program that includes office hours with AWS Cybersecurity experts and CrowdStrike executives, access to top-tier cybersecurity global investors, enablement sessions, up to $25,000 in AWS Activate [aws.amazon.com] credits, among other exclusive benefits.
At the end of the program, participants can present their innovations at an in-person Demo Day at the AWS Startup Loft in San Francisco which will take place during the RSA Conference in May 2024. Winning presentations could receive funding from the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund, a portfolio that includes AWS Partners like Abnormal (Behavioral AI Security), Cribl (Observability), Dig Security (Data Security), Vanta (Compliance) and Talon Security (Secure Browser).
"This is a game-changer for cyber founders. Navigating foundational startup initiatives is difficult while accelerating your product vision and execution at the same time,” said Josh Jones, Head of Corporate Development at Vanta. “Having the support of both AWS and CrowdStrike will help the program participants in ways not available to most emerging ISVs. It is a win-win-win for all parties involved."

The AWS Startup Loft Accelerator program is a 10-week virtual acceleration program for early-stage cloud-based startups. The program enables startups to maximize the value of AWS by providing them with AWS tech resources, to validate their business by industry leaders, to access investors and to accelerate their time to market. The program structure is based on four pillars crucial to a startup's success in its early days: Technology, Product, Go-to-market and Funding. The program puts the entrepreneur at the center allowing startups to build their own personalized program out of the AWS Startup Loft Accelerator session and content offering.
