Working synergistically with UMBC and members, bwtech offers the combined knowledge, resources, and humanpower to help companies achieve more.
CYNC
CYNC is a unique program that’s similar in many ways to post-accelerator programs with a key difference: no associated fees. We are able to provide this program at no cost due to the generous support of Northrop Grumman and other bwtech@UMBC sponsors.
We recognize that, even without any fees, program participation does cost time. For this reason, CYNC is built around focused sessions of introductions, roundtable discussions, and pitches with buyers, investors, corporate partners, and national security leaders. All participants in the program are also able to utilize our Cyber Advisory Board, Entrepreneurs in Residence, Northrop Grumman Technical Champions, and programming on an as-needed basis.
