Cipher is amongst India’s first specialised cybersecurity accelerator. At Cipher, we support cybersecurity entrepreneurs with the capital, connections, experience, and expertise that only a specialized security firm can.
We have created an innovative accelerator model to help entrepreneurs build and scale up their cybersecurity ventures. During the 4 month mentor and corporate-driven program, Cipher will work on everything from refining the idea to finding product-market fit, honing on a target market, to engaging with customers.
