Techstars
Techstars is a global startup accelerator that supports early-stage companies through mentorship and funding. Entrepreneurs apply to join a program where they receive guidance from experienced mentors, networking opportunities, and resources to develop their business ideas. The program typically lasts about three months and culminates in a "demo day," where startups present their progress to potential investors. In exchange for funding and support, Techstars takes a small equity stake in each company. Its goal is to help startups grow quickly and increase their chances of long-term success.
