Herndon, VA (PRWEB) March 24, 2016 -- The MACH37 Cyber Accelerator announced today that it has selected six cybersecurity startups to participate in the Spring 2016 (S-16) three-month mentorship-driven startup program. With this announcement, MACH37 will have helped launch 35 cyber companies in less than three years of operation. The selection process for the S16 cohort included the largest and most competitive application pool to date which comprised of candidates from across the world.

As a focused business accelerator, MACH37 brings together domain experts, successful cybersecurity entrepreneurs and investors familiar to the security market to create a platform for success for innovators and their startups. The MACH37 program consists of an intense 90-day program in which the selected startups are mentored in all aspects of creating a sustainable and successful business.

Applicants selected to participate in the program receive a $50,000 investment to develop and launch their ideas into emerging, investable companies. By drawing on MACH37’s large network of successful security professionals, business experts and entrepreneurs, companies involved in the program are guided toward creating successful cybersecurity companies that can establish market leadership positions. The program concludes on June 14th, 2016 with a Demo Day where companies will have the opportunity to pitch and demo their technology to an audience of external mentors, investors and stakeholders.

“After an extensive review process, we are now excited to announce the six teams that have been selected into the MACH37 Spring 2016 Cohort. The quality of the participants in this class is a clear reflection of the success of our program and our aggressive outreach.” said Rick Gordon, Managing Partner of MACH37. “Over the last two years, we have not only reaped the benefits of being located in one of the hottest cybersecurity hotbeds in the world, but we have also attracted globally recognized talent to Virginia.”

CIT President and CEO Ed Albrigo added, “The appetite for new ideas and investment opportunities in cybersecurity has never been greater. We have developed an ecosystem to accelerate cybersecurity innovations into the mainstream while also helping reduce startup risks for both entrepreneurs and investors in this technically demanding field.”

The six companies selected for the Spring 2016 Cohort are:

• Hill Top Security – Steve Baker, Tom Gilmore and Neil Wright
• NormShield – Mohamoud Jibrell and Candan Bolukbas
