Take a closer look at that Tampa Bay Wave accelerator. Many of those cybersecurity startups have built their platforms with multi-tenancy capabilities for MSPs. Some have also built in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and data lake capabilities that automatically gain intelligence through endpoint sensors and more.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also signs of progress on the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) front<\/strong>. Indeed, 11 of the 15 startups are led by underrepresented founders<\/strong>, Tampa Bay Wave said in a January 2023 statement. Moreover, companies from Australia, Israel, Mexico, and Singapore are represented in the accelerator.<\/p>\n
