Start-ups run on speed, trust, and open access—exactly the conditions that can turn a small mistake into a major security incident. If you wait until your company “feels mature” to tackle security, your policies, tech stack, and culture may already be hard to change.

Join Mason Enterprise Center members and regional business leaders for a practical conversation with two experts who connect cutting-edge AI with real-world business strategy. Learn how to bake security into your culture from day one and prevent costly problems before they start.

Bring your questions, your team, and your appetite for growth—and leave with concrete steps to protect your startup’s future.

May the Fourth be with you, founders.
Every unicorn started as “just” an idea in a hangar bay somewhere. Keep iterating, keep testing, keep trusting the Force of customer feedback, and don’t be afraid to pivot faster than the Millennium Falcon in an asteroid field.
From our incubator in this corner of the galaxy to yours: build boldly, launch often, and remember—there is no “try,” only do.
