The world needs better security software. They believe much of the innovation in security is locked up in the top US research universities, and they want to help unleash it by starting companies. That's why they built the Cybersecurity Factory, an 10-week summer program for academics to launch security startups.

Security software startups face several unique challenges. The advantage of new technologies is hard to communicate, and can be even harder to demonstrate, to customers. Reputation is paramount, but can be damaged overnight. Sales models are rapidly evolving, and keeping up with them requires both agility and experimentation.

Their goal is to bring you the capital, mentorship, and other resources to get your security startup off the ground this summer.
