The eight-week accelerator program is designed to provide early-stage startups with hands-on mentorship from leaders at all three technology giants. Participants will gain access to top cybersecurity investors, technical experts, and opportunities for global visibility within the companies' extensive ecosystems and marketplaces. The program culminates in an in-person Demo Day at the AWS Startup Loft in San Francisco on March 24, 2026, where outstanding presentations may be eligible for investment from the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
Now in its third year, the accelerator has a strong history of fostering successful companies. To date, 59 startups have graduated from the program, collectively raising more than $730 million in subsequent funding and achieving multiple acquisitions. Notable alumni include Onum, which was acquired by CrowdStrike, as well as cohort winners Remedio and Terra Security, which secured accelerated funding rounds after their participation.
