The program, run in tandem with Nvidia and Amazon Web Services (AWS), is designed for “startups building the future of cybersecurity for the agentic era,” CrowdStrike said in its announcement Tuesday (Oct. 6).

“The next generation of agentic cybersecurity companies is being built right now, and we want to foster ecosystem innovation to transform cybersecurity,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Together with AWS and NVIDIA, we’re putting the scale and power of our companies and ecosystems behind the best founders to help them build faster, reach more customers, and grow. When these companies grow, we grow with them.”

Applications are open through Nov. 2, with the eight-week program scheduled for Jan. 11 through March 8 of 2027. Startups will connect with technical and business leaders from CrowdStrike, AWS, and Nvidia, “as well as market contributors, combining hands-on technical mentorship with business development and go-to-market guidance,” the announcement added.

Upon conclusion of the program, up to 10 startups will move on to pitch at next year’s RSAC cybersecurity conference, where a winner will be selected. Past cohorts have included Onum, which went on to be acquired by CrowdStrike.

“AI is changing both the threats customers face and what’s possible in cybersecurity,” said CJ Moses , chief information security officer at Amazon.
