There are so many tech communities and initiatives, so it is quite easy to lose track of new ones emerging. However, it is interesting to see that technology is getting all the necessary recognition, pushing out initiatives, and promoting innovation among different sectors. To further preach the gospel of technology, Techstars was built.
What is it about Techstars?
Techstars is a global initiative that continuously makes it possible for different tech startups to thrive by providing them with the funds and resources needed. So, it is safe to say that Techstars is an investor and has been, over the years, at least since 2006. The company runs an accelerator program and has invested in over 3,700 early-stage startups. Currently, it can be tagged as the world’s most active pre-seed investor having more than 8600 different founders spanning through HealthTech, FinTech, Web3, and Clean Tech.
This global community goes far to recognize and support tech entrepreneurs with not just access to capital but mentoring, customer availability, and putting them on the right road to hiring talent and choosing the right resources. This means that there is even room for the founders of these selected startups to get mentored so much that it has a big impact on the business they are building.
The Accelerator Program at Techstars
The accelerator program is a 3-month event organized yearly by Techstars to help entrepreneurs in Miami, Silicon Valley, Lagos, and London build better businesses. During this period, the selected entrepreneurs get to learn from the best business people who are presented as mentors, and a rich network of corporate partners, investors, and alumni. Also, they are open to fundraising opportunities, workshops, and a ton of useful resources. With a $98.4B market capitalization, Techstars allows several entrepreneurs to send in their application which is usually valid for 12 months from the exact date of the application.
