Welcome to our new cohort for 2023-24!
For those of you who were revealed live on IBM Z Day and received the acceptance email from the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator - congratulations!
Catch the replay of the live announcement here (and other startup and IBM Hyper Protect related sessions!) - ibm.biz/ibmzday-2023
For those of you who missed out, we are still interested in working with you on adopting IBM Hyper Protect to protect your cloud and digital assets - please stay in touch for 2024!
TO THE 2023 COHORT 6 and Friends of Hyper Protect III CLASSES OF THE IBM HYPER PROTECT ACCELERATOR:
We'll have more instructions for you next week, including PR (you may want to hold off on social "announcements" until then (but it is fine to do if you like, and to do both).
In the meantime:
- Have all of your team join the community you are in now - ibm.biz/hpablog (open to all)
- Please contact the Global Head of the program for our private LinkedIn group - Adam.Ring@ibm.com - where we will share more info & updates
- Attached is the logo to use (not the main IBM logo from ibm.com)
- If you don't want to wait and want to post on social media now, here are some guidelines...
GUIDELINES TO POSTING ON SOCIAL:
- Do not use the main IBM trademarked logo! Use the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator logo attached.
- The product brand is "IBM Hyper Protect" and the accelerator is the "IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator" which is powered by "IBM Z" (thus the IBM Z Day)
- Please don't shorten these to HPA of HP or HPS as we want more awareness of the product name. Don't forget the IBM at the front.
- Regardless of whether you are Cohort 6 (15 startups) or Friends of Hyper Protect III (30 startups) you were "one of 45 startups picked in 2023 for the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator".
What to write?
- If you'd like some bottled statements then you can use something like:
- "IBM Hyper Protect, powered by IBM Z, provides superior protection for data and workloads in a multi-cloud scenario. IBM Hyper Protect Crypto Services is ideal for digital assets and within the IBM Hyper Protection Virtual Server you have maximum flexibility and the ultimate protection!"
- Or any language from -
I encourage you to amplify each others posts (we tried to pick startups that don't compete in the same region as each other). This is the magic of a cohort.
