Nominations for Black Hat MEA’s Cyberseed Startup Competition open

The Investor & Startup Program at Black Hat MEA will empower startup founders to showcase their products and solutions while connecting them to relevant opportunities in the industry. By joining this program, you will have the opportunity to participate in the Cyberseed Pitch Competition.

Confirmed startup exhibitors will have the opportunity to be one of eight startups selected to pitch at the close of Black Hat MEA’s Executive Summit for a chance to win $30,000. All companies selected will have a 3-minute startup pitch, followed by a 2-minute Q&A session, and each pitch will be scored against seven key criteria.

The Activity Zone will also host a Jeopardy-style Capture the Flag tournament—one of the largest ever held in the GCC—involving more than 1,000 competitors across multiple skill categories.
