Who Took the Crown of “Most Innovative Startup 2026?”
Always a crowd favorite, RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest has never failed to astound and amaze Conference attendees. Geordie AI was crowned the “Most Innovative Startup 2026”!
RSAC Innovation Sandbox
For over 20 years the RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest has shone a spotlight on cybersecurity’s boldest new innovators while highlighting their potentially game-changing ideas.
Each year hundreds of submissions are reviewed and narrowed down to only 10 finalists. The Top 10 Finalists will take the stage during RSAC™ 2026 Conference and will have three minutes to make their award-winning pitch to a panel of leading industry experts. Since the start of the contest, the Top 10 Finalists have collectively seen over 100 acquisitions and over $50.1 billion in investments. Beginning in 2025 all 10 finalists were also awarded a $5 million dollar investment in the form of a SAFE note. This investment will continue to be awarded to the 2026 finalists.
The Top 10 Finalists are carefully chosen by a judging panel of industry veterans.
