Cyber Runway Scale welcomes high-growth startups to challenge their thinking

In July, we introduced the Launch and Ignite cohorts from our Cyber Runway programme, which is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and supported by the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) and Deloitte. Now, we’re pleased to onboard our new Scale cohort as part of a two-day in-person Founders Bootcamp at The Art House in Bethnal Green. 
 
Cyber Runway is the UK’s largest cyber accelerator and is designed to address some of the biggest challenges facing cyber security, such as regional representation and diversity and inclusion, with a commitment to support the most promising innovators across the nation at various stages of growth. Within this, our Scale stream is designed to help high-growth startups and scaleups blast away barriers to growth at home and overseas. 
 
All 17 members of the Scale cohort will benefit from in-person content and targeted guidance. This will be achieved as they join smaller Growth Groups to focus their attentions on specific areas, such as sales and investment. In addition, our scaleups will be supported to develop individual Growth Plans, which will result in roadmaps for expansion and market penetration. 
 
We understand that companies at the scale stage are typically in the process of exploring global growth, which is why select members of the cohort will take part in a delegation mission to Slush 2024 in Helsinki and a second international trade mission. 
 
Diane Gilbert, Senior Innovation Lead at Plexal, says: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome our new Scale cohort. We understand the unique needs of companies at this pivotal growth stage and have evolved our support in keeping with their shifting requirements.  
 
“Specifically, we know our international trade missions are incredibly powerful, having seen two members of our Cyber Runway alumni community APIContext and eXate strike a strategic partnership on the back of us taking them to RSA in San Francisco with DSIT and the Department for Business and Trade. Founders can also apply for even more in-depth and intensive support through Scale X – with six spaces available.”
