In 2025, our company, Leo CybSec, made history as the first non-U.S. cybersecurity startup accepted into the MACH37 Cyber Accelerator. This milestone marked the beginning of a transformative journey that accelerated our growth, refined our mission, and connected us to a powerful ecosystem shaping the future of cybersecurity.
What is MACH37?
MACH37 is the premier cybersecurity accelerator program designed specifically for early-stage cyber startups. Unlike generic accelerators, MACH37 focuses exclusively on the needs of cybersecurity founders — offering expert mentorship, investor access, and specialized support that reflects the complexity of building secure technologies.
For Leo CybSec, joining this U.S.-based accelerator as an international company was a unique opportunity to bring our vision to a global stage.
Why MACH37 Was a Game-Changer for Us
Participating in MACH37 gave us more than startup mentorship — it gave us a launchpad. Over 12 intensive weeks, we worked alongside industry leaders, refined our go-to-market strategy, and built strong investor and customer pipelines.
Key benefits included:
- Product-Market Fit: Data-driven insights helped us sharpen our Hoplon Platform for real-world cybersecurity needs.
- Go-to-Market Strategy: We developed a scalable GTM plan tailored for international markets.
- Investor Readiness: Our story, pitch, and positioning were completely transformed.
- Tech Leaders & Customer Access: Intros to key stakeholders accelerated real conversations and traction.
The Power of the MACH37 Ecosystem
The MACH37 cybersecurity ecosystem is one of the most valuable assets we’ve tapped into. Being part of this accelerator plugged us into a network of founders, security professionals, CISOs, and investors — all focused on driving innovation in the cybersecurity space.
For Leo CybSec, this meant global exposure, high-impact conversations, and new strategic partnerships that continue to fuel our growth.
Long-Term Strategic Support
The MACH37 team’s commitment goes far beyond the program itself. We’re proud to share that Jason Chen, CEO of MACH37, has joined our board as an advisor. His leadership in cybersecurity innovation, strategic insight, and global vision are already helping guide our next phase.
Jason’s involvement reinforces MACH37’s belief in our mission and adds significant value as we scale.
Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity
As the first non-U.S. startup in MACH37’s history, Leo CybSec is proof that cybersecurity innovation knows no borders. With the support of this accelerator, we’ve built stronger foundations, gained global reach, and are now better positioned than ever to help secure the digital future.
