About
Red Cell Go
Red Cell Go is an opportunity for entrepreneurs with deep domain expertise to partner with an established incubator to explore and validate innovative ideas that have the potential to become the next Red Cell incubation company. We invite entrepreneurs with extensive knowledge in their fields and a game-changing idea capable of making a meaningful impact to apply.
Successful applicants will secure a 3-month, paid 1099 contract to validate their concept and build a pre-seed pitch deck to present to Red Cell’s Investment Committee (IC).
For those who are successful in their IC pitch, their relationship with Red Cell will transition into a longer-term, more intensive collaboration – where we will partner with them to accelerate the journey from idea to market and turn their concept into a Red Cell incubation. The applicant will be brought on as a salaried, full-time Incubation Lead, securing a coveted opportunity to further engage with our network and resources, and to leverage our team-of-teams expertise to turn their vision into a viable, scalable, and market-ready entity.
BENEFITS
Program Highlights
During the 3-month discovery contract period, participants will benefit from:

A pre-pitch session with the Red Cell practice team to refine their pitch before presenting to the IC.

We
Believe
The inexorable forces that will drive opportunities in cyber over the next decade are:
Evolving Threat Landscape:
The increasing use of cyber tactics by nation-states for power projection, including data theft, cyberattacks, and influence operations, alongside the sheltering of cybercriminals, will continue to lead to a surge in ransomware incidents and intellectual property theft.
Tool Sprawl and Fragmentation:
The proliferation and fragmentation of cybersecurity tools are driving a demand for more streamlined and integrated solutions.
Cyber Workforce Challenges:
The high cost and scarcity of cybersecurity expertise are expected to result in persistent understaffing issues, exacerbating the cyber risk landscape.
Emerging Tech:
Advancements in cloud computing, AI for offense and defense, Web3 for data ownership, and post-quantum technologies are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape and strategies.
Core Characteristics
We select ideas and partners based on the proposed solution’s adherence to specific criteria:
Reduced Risk/Cost:
Solutions that significantly improve customers’ cybersecurity posture by supporting cyber resiliency (networks, systems, etc.) and predicting, preventing, and mitigating cyber risk (e.g. cyberattacks).
Efficient Implementation:
Solutions that integrate with existing customer systems or operations to minimize friction and enhance interoperability and that are well-suited to scale without compromising capability – considering factors such as cost, infrastructure, personnel training, and supportability.
Enduring Value:
Solutions designed to be flexible, allowing evolution with changing requirements and the ever-evolving threat and policy landscape; solutions that leverage technologies that are expected to have a lasting impact on various domains and industries and withstand the test of time.
