Learn how NetCloak and Techstars are making a difference. Congratulations to NetCloak on their acceptance into the Techstars LA startup accelerator program! In this week’s announcement, the tech incubator lauded the incredible breadth and depth of talent in the local startup ecosystem. Having had the chance to work with NetCloak’s impressive leadership team and staff first-hand, we agree that the forward-looking enterprise cybersecurity startup is a fantastic addition to Techstars LA’s Class of 2018. NetCloak, founded in Los Angeles in 2017, believes that “people are the foundation of a holistic cybersecurity strategy.” They empower individual employees to remove publicly available data so that it can’t be leveraged in attacks against your business. By managing and reducing the amount of data that’s available to potential attackers, they reduce your business’ overall cybersecurity risk. Selecting the Class of 2018 Techstars LA met with more than 400 companies to select the ten participants for their 2018 program. In compelling illustration of the strength of LA’s startup community, eight of the ten are based in the LA area. NetCloak is joined by a diverse group of startups, including Best Food Trucks, Blackstock & Weber, Fernish, PRZM, Relovv, Shipsi, the Cut, Trellis, and Unity Influence. Techstars LA reports that, in furtherance of their commitment to investing in diverse teams, 60% of the companies are led by CEOs from underrepresented communities.
