How founders get in
RSAC describes a founder ecosystem of visibility, mentorship, and access to capital: pitch through Innovation Sandbox or Launch Pad, showcase in the Early Stage Expo, and meet investors, buyers, enterprise leaders, and partners in the wider cybersecurity community. The Investor & Entrepreneur track covers venture trends, market shifts, emerging categories, and startup-enterprise relationships.
- To attend RSAC 2027 as a startup, buy a conference pass through the official Passes & Rates page when general registration opens on 2026-10-19. The Basic pass is the lowest-cost published option and includes the Expo and innovation programs; Core adds all keynotes and track sessions. Standard attendance is ticket purchase, not an application.
- To exhibit in the Early Stage Expo, contact RSAC sales to ask whether your startup qualifies; limited places are offered, but no kiosk price is published. For the 2026 expo, RSAC described participating startups as privately held, under five years old, and below $5 million in revenue. RSAC has not published the 2027 expo eligibility criteria in the cited material.
- To compete in the RSAC Innovation Sandbox 2027, submit through the contest process when submissions open on 2026-12-01. The application requires a qualifying cybersecurity product, completed submission prompts, and a video pitch of three minutes or less; the deadline is 2027-01-14 at 5 p.m. PT. The contest has separate startup eligibility rules.
| Startup programme | There is no separately named founder or startup attendee pass in the published RSAC 2027 pass list. Buy a standard pass: Basic is the lowest-cost published pass and includes Expo and innovation-program access; Core adds all keynotes and track sessions. Startup exhibition and contest participation require separate steps. source |
|---|---|
| Startup price | Basic: $250 (2027 discount, standard, and onsite rates); Core: $1,695 early bird (2027). source |
| Includes | Basic includes Expo and Expo receptions, sponsor briefings, Tuesday and Wednesday Main Stage Keynotes, Innovation Sandbox, Launch Pad, and Early Stage Expo (2027). Core adds all keynotes and track sessions, partner seminars, the RSAC Cyber Fraud Summit, closing celebration, breaks, and attendance reporting for CPE credits (2027). |
| Eligibility | The general RSAC 2027 attendance terms require attendees to be at least 18. Early Stage Expo participation is separate from buying an attendee pass; the 2026 organiser announcement described exhibitors as privately held startups under five years old with less than $5 million in revenue. RSAC has not published the 2027 Early Stage Expo criteria in the cited material. |
| Scholarships / free passes | College Day is a free RSAC 2027 programme for current college students and 2026 graduates. RSAC Security Scholar is a hand-selected, by-invitation student programme; no additional scholarship or free general-attendance pass is described in the cited pages. |
| Students | RSAC 2027 offers a Core Student/Faculty pass: $725 early bird, $800 discount, $875 standard, or $950 onsite. Students must be at least 18, show valid student ID and a current class schedule with at least 12 credits; full-time faculty must verify their status. Separately, College Day is free for current college students and 2026 graduates on 2027-04-08. |
| Investor pass | Investors attend by purchasing a published conference pass; investor-focused content is listed under the Investor & Entrepreneur track. source |
| Press | RSAC 2026 had a Media Pass and a Media Hub, but the cited official pages do not state the application procedure or accreditation eligibility. The 2027 programs page says the Media Hub is open to all pass types; that is not itself press accreditation. |
| Application required | No, tickets are purchased |
RSAC Innovation Sandbox
| Prize | Each Innovation Sandbox Top 10 finalist receives a $5M uncapped SAFE investment (2027). The winner also receives the title Most Innovative Startup 2027 and a complimentary Early Stage Expo kiosk and Briefing Center spot. source |
|---|---|
| Format | Innovation Sandbox 2027 selects ten finalists for live three-minute pitches to an expert judging panel. Launch Pad is a separate Shark Tank-style startup pitch with feedback from industry veterans; its 2026 finalists were Incalmo, Konvu, and OBVERRA. |
