1. The
top two winning students teams from the hackathon on the 26th & 27th
March will be invited to pitch to the top two global cyber security VC
firms and our enterprise judges live on stage at the Science Gallery on
the 5th April, its a great opportunity for students. Hackathon Details.
*FYI:
we've placed the lowest possible price on student tickets for
university partners, the 20euro just about covers catering for the two
day hackathon.*
2.
We've confirmed the top two cyber security investment firms in the
world, leaders from Paladin Capital Group and JVP in Israel will be
speaking at the summit on the 5th April. Summit Details.
3. As a university partner, It would be great to gain your support on the hackathon, if you could please share the hackathon
details through university student channels we can get numbers on board
as soon as possible, confirm venue and host a hackathon that enables
real connections and support for technical students.
LAST YEARS STUDENTS
When
we held the summit in London last year, two student graduates created a
rough prototype in two days. Through summit connections, mentor advice
and introductions the two students formed a company, received angel
funding, got into an accelerator program and last month raised a seed
funding round of 500K. This year we have those students back and Alesis,
cofounder of Aimbrain will be a speaker at the summit, a big change in 12 months :)
Along
with providing the environment to connect and experiment within our
hackathon, we also want to inspire students on story's like the AimBrain
journey. To do this we would really appreciate your support.
