Techstars is a global startup accelerator and venture capital firm that operates under a mentorship-driven investment model. Founded in 2006 in Boulder, Colorado, the firm provides pre-seed and early-stage capital, mentorship, and access to a lifelong network for entrepreneurs. Techstars runs dozens of three-month accelerator programs annually across more than 150 countries, partnering with major corporations such as J.P. Morgan to invest in underrepresented and high-growth founders. Its investment strategy is "founder-first," focusing on building product-market fit and scalability. In 2024, the firm moved its official headquarters to New York City and centralised its operations to focus on global tech hubs with high venture capital activity.
