CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) on Tuesday announced its fourth annual Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator, a global program run with Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA (NVDA) to back startups building security solutions for the agentic era. Applications are open worldwide until November 2, 2026. The eight-week program runs January 11 to March 8, 2027, offering technical mentorship, business development and go-to-market support, plus access to CrowdStrike's Falcon tools and Marketplace, AWS partner support and NVIDIA Inception resources. Up to 10 startups will pitch live at RSAC 2027 from April 5-8, where a winner will be chosen. Standouts may draw investment consideration from the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund.
