Techstars Oakland powered by J.P. Morgan

The Techstars Oakland powered by J.P. Morgan accelerator is open to all founders. Drawing inspiration from Collin's lectures at the Stanford Graduate School and his experience as a successful founder in both Techstars and YCombinator, the program offers applicants access to a vibrant network of successful founders, mentors, universities, conferences, and programs. We are primarily interested in transformative technologies at the intersection of AI, Fintech, HealthTech, EdTech, and ClimateTech. The Techstars Oakland program is designed to establish genuine connections with Silicon Valley while also providing access for entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds. With unprecedented access, Techstars Oakland has the potential to unlock opportunities for every overlooked and underestimated founder.
