The RSA USA Conference has included an "Innovation Sandbox" competition for the past few years. There are always a few interesting new vendors on display, along with several niche players who you can just tell are going to be gobbled up by the big players. Overall, it's an entertaining venue for seeing some emerging technologies.
Now there's good news: The deadline for applying to participate as a vendor in the 2013 Innovation Sandbox has been extended. So, if you're with a tech company providing a unique (dare I say, innovative?:) solution, then there's still time to get involved. You just need to meet a few simply criteria. Note on the first bullet that I've seen companies older than a year presenting 2.x versions (or greater) at previous Innovation Sandbox events, suggesting that they view that criteria a bit flexibly. So, when in doubt, apply! ;)
Criteria:
- Product in market for less than one year (launched after February 2012)
- Product has the potential to make a significant impact on the information security space
- Product can be demonstrated live and on-site at Innovation Sandbox
- Company has a management team with previous proven success
- Company must be privately held with less than $5M in booked revenue in 2012
