Commencing Cisco LaunchPad Startup Cohort 2

We started the journey of Cisco LaunchPad with the vision of creating an ecosystem to deliver end-to-end digital solutions for customers. Cisco LaunchPad is an ecosystem of startups, technology leaders, partners, and developers.

It was very gratifying to have the first startup cohort of Cisco LaunchPad graduate in January 2017. For startups, Cisco LaunchPad has been a rigorous yet rewarding program: starting off with an immersive bootcamp, monthly reviews with Cisco leadership and external advisors, deep interactions with Cisco technology mentors and go-to-market teams.

Now, after a thorough selection process by a panel of Cisco Engineering leaders, Cisco LaunchPad kicks off its second cohort of eight startups shortlisted from a number of applications spanning the Cisco portfolio from IoT to Security to AR/VR. The panel sees high potential for several of these startups to collaborate with Cisco on technology integration as well as joint go-to-market.
