Techstars Boulder Accelerator
Techstars Boulder has gone remote-first and we are excited to work with entrepreneurs across the country. For our next cohort, we're looking to invest in rockstar founders building innovative startups in the B2B FinTech space. Founded in 2007, the Techstars Boulder program is the original Techstars accelerator and continues to graduate some of the best companies in the world. We provide three pillars of value to our founders - mentorship/network, fundraising, and building tools. Our mission is simple: Be of service to our founders, so that they succeed. We have officially opened applications for the Techstars Boulder Summer 2023 cohort. The program runs 13 weeks, and is remote-first. More on our investment thesis below.
