Mindlapse joins the 2026 Cyber Booster cohort

Mindlapse joins the 2026 cohort of the Cyber Booster acceleration program. Run by CyGO Entrepreneurs in partnership with Le Poool and backed by France 2030, at the heart of France’s national cyber strategy, the program takes on about ten French cybersecurity and digital trust startups each year, from early stage to early growth. It starts this month and runs for twelve months.

Cyber Booster in a nutshell

Cyber Booster’s conviction fits in one sentence: in cybersecurity, a technology only changes the world once it is adopted, and adoption rests on trust. The program backs founders who turn an innovation into a company able to win over its market, with a stated ambition: building the European champions of cybersecurity. More than 50 startups have gone through it since 2022.

• Intensive support: from November to March, five bootcamps on the decisions that make a company (first customer, value proposition, positioning, sales strategy, international plan), and a dedicated startup manager between sessions;
• A cyber ecosystem: mentors, experts, large accounts, investors and institutions, with the key sessions at Campus Cyber, La Défense;
• Market access: from April to October, the execution phase multiplies field tests with customers, partners and investors;
• International ambition: the international plan is worked on from the bootcamps onwards, with exchanges with other European ecosystems.

Why this program, now

Cyber Booster is not for ideas: it asks for a committed team, a working product and first market validation. That is where we are. The Mindlapse platform was built with its future users, the CISOs of the Cyber Collective Lab, and the question in front of us is no longer “what to build?” but “how to get adopted faster?”.

Cyber Booster’s line on trust echoes our own thesis. Cyber governance only earns trust when it is verified, not merely declared: that is what Mindlapse does, checking what is declared against the live signals of the information system. Convincing large accounts to move from document-driven GRC to operational GRC is exactly the kind of decision the program helps make faster.

What we will work on

• Scaling sales: from the first customer to a repeatable sales cycle with CISOs, risk managers and compliance teams;
• Positioning: agentic cyber-GRC that moves at the speed of IT, in a market still dominated by declarative repositories;
• Europe: NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act are European texts, and the answer we are building is meant to be European too.

A consistent trajectory

Cyber Booster follows Bpifrance’s Deeptech qualification, the Jeune Entreprise Innovante status and our listing on the 2026 Wavestone radar of French cybersecurity startups. Thank you to the CyGO Entrepreneurs team for their trust: see you in twelve months for the review.
