Apply for the Google growth academy for Cybersecurity startups program

Successful applicants will receive dedicated mentoring from Google executives at VirusTotal and Mandiant, and other leading European companies.

Google has announced that applications for the Google for Startups Growth Academy: Cybersecurity program are now open. Stating specifically it is for Seed to Series A startups based in Europe, the application will consider startups looking to scale internationally.

The academy is a three-month program that will begin in April with workshops run by a mix of Google and industry experts in the EU. Successful startups will receive dedicated mentoring across strategy, sales, and partnerships — including from Google executives at VirusTotal and Mandiant, and other leading European companies — and connect with other entrepreneurs focused on cybersecurity.

Loosely reminiscent of Google’s Hustle academy hosted in Africa, the program will be built around three in-person moments taking place in Europe, including in Málaga, the home of a new Google Safety Engineering Center for joint research on advanced threats opening this year.

Other criteria include;

  • Startups need to be focused on an element of cybersecurity, such as: prevention, protection, research, and/or threat analysis and threat sharing
  • Startups must have demonstrated traction (users, revenue).
  • Startups must have a scalable product or service, with both a significant total addressable market and a defensible growth model.

Applications opened January 10, 2023 and will close February 12, 2023. Apply here.
