CyLon Accelerator was one of the world’s premier startup accelerators focused exclusively on cybersecurity and resilience technologies. Established in 2015 by security experts Grace Cassy, Jonathan Luff, and Alex van Someren, CyLon Accelerator helped numerous early-stage cybersecurity startups grow, secure funding, and build strategic partnerships with global companies and governments.
Over the years, the CyLon Accelerator programme supported some of the most innovative startups in cybersecurity, including Immersive Labs, Tessian, and Cado Security, which have gone on to raise substantial investment and expand globally. The accelerator provided intensive mentorship, investment, and a structured programme designed to equip founders with the skills needed to scale their businesses.
The Evolution of CyLon Accelerator into CyLon Ventures
As the cybersecurity landscape evolved, so did CyLon Accelerator. The company transitioned from running accelerator programmes to CyLon Ventures, a specialised investment firm focused on early-stage cybersecurity and security-focused startups. CyLon Ventures now invests its own capital directly into promising security startups, providing long-term strategic support to founders, helping them acquire early customers, and connecting them with top-tier investors.
Why CyLon Accelerator Was a Game-Changer in Cybersecurity
Exclusive Focus on Cybersecurity: Unlike generic accelerators, CyLon Accelerator specialised in security and resilience technologies, ensuring tailored support for founders in the industry.
Global Network: The accelerator built a powerful network of investors, industry experts, and government agencies, helping startups secure vital partnerships.
Funding & Growth: Startups from CyLon Accelerator have raised millions in investment, positioning themselves as leaders in cybersecurity innovation.
While the CyLon Accelerator programme is no longer active, its legacy continues through CyLon Ventures, which remains committed to investing in and supporting the next generation of cybersecurity startups.
For founders looking for cybersecurity funding and mentorship, CyLon Ventures provides the expertise, connections, and capital to help businesses thrive in the evolving security landscape.
