TechStars

Get your startup funded and off the ground while learning from the best.

Only ten spots. TechStars takes only ten
companies each summer. Last year more than 300 companies applied.
Getting in is hard, and it means something special.

Seed funding. TechStars fills the startup
funding gap by providing just enough capital to get your idea off the
ground. Your new company receives up to $15,000 in seed funding.

Advice and Mentoring. TechStars fills the
experience gap by bringing together the best and the brightest in one
place and surrounding you with incredible proven mentors for the
summer. With this much talent in one place you’ll get great advice on
your product and strategy, thereby ensuring the best possible start for
your new business.

Connections. TechStars companies get
immeasurable benefits that come from introductions and connections to
potential partners and customers. At the end of the summer, each
company also has the opportunity to pitch during an investor event that
we organize.

A great deal and a great co-founder.
In exchange for the TechStars summer program, seed funding, advice,
mentorship, connections, and investor demo day, TechStars receives a 5%
equityi stake in your new company. TechStars receives “founders stock”
which is just like yours. We want to be thought of as an experienced
and well connected co-founder so we have the same risk and reward
system that you do. Learn more.
