Meet the Alumni
New for this year, Demo Day features a combination of the current CyberASAP cohort (above) plus spinout companies from previous years of the programme. Our Alumni Spinout Showcase features companies who have progressed along the commercialisation route and are now looking for further investment and/or business partners to realise the market potential of their cyber products/services/technologies:
ZORB – Secure hybrid working
FACT 360 – Uncovers information critical to your organisation or investigation
Lupovis – We detect what others miss
Cavero Quantum – A quantum secure SaaS solution for every communication
Riskocity – Easy to understand Cyber-Physical Risk Assessment, initially for the shipping sector
OSIRT Ltd – an all-in-one comprehensive toolkit for law enforcement officers to conduct online investigations
True Deploy – Making Software Secure
Come and meet the teams behind these startups to discuss potential collaboration and/or the investment opportunity of their offerings.
CEO of Lupovis, Xavier Bellekens, commented: “Demo days are integral for businesses looking to take their projects to the next level. They allow us to showcase our ideas and gain valuable feedback from seasoned professionals….”
Alumni of CyberASAP have between them raised just over £19 million in further investment, and include success stories such as cyber training disrupter, CAPSLOCK, OT security experts, Awen Collective, and quantum-safe crypto solutions provider, KETS Quantum.
27 companies have been formed as a result of the programme, spanning a diverse range of cyber security solutions, technologies and services.
Emma Fadlon, co-Director of CyberASAP, added: “We’re excited to include at this year’s Demo Day some of the companies formed since graduating from the programme. Both they, and the talented teams from this year’s cohort, will be sharing their go-to-market strategies and providing early stage investors with a chance to identify a wide range of opportunities in this high growth sector.”
