About the Event
Join SIA’s Startups in Security community on the afternoon of Thursday, March 26, at ISC West to make connections with other innovators who are looking to change the status quo and change the security industry! The Startups in Security Experience is open to all startup companies and those who support and work with startups. Come meet and join our community!
On the agenda:
Startups in Security Community Welcome and Introductions

Mastermind/Cohort Program Reveal
Jill Frack of startup firm Fracktional Solutions will be introducing our new peer-to-peer, cohort-style small group mentoring/growth communities—and inviting all startup companies to participate as we build out this collaborative, problem-solving approach!
Startup Advisors Next Steps
Hear more about what we launched at ISC East 2025 and what value your startup can receive from these complimentary feedback sessions.
Investor Series Kickoff
Special Guest: Annie Lan, Partner, EGIS Capital
The showcase part of our afternoon experience! No matter what “series” of investment your startup is in, our 1:1 interviews with investors and financial leaders will give you advantageous insights when it’s time to ask for cash to build your runway.
Kicking us off will be special guest Annie Lan, partner at EGIS Capital, who’ll be sharing her thoughts on investment trends and startup biz insights with interviewer Charles Johnson, founder and CEO of NGA Security Advisors and chair of the Startups in Security Resources Subcommittee.
Networking + Drinks
At 5 p.m., stay with us as we walk across the hall to SIA’s funky, tech-forward, debate-themed reception event—presented by SIA Standards. Over food and drinks, make connections and build your network among other tech-savvy visionaries.
