ALUMNI SUPPORT

When Your Original Managing Director Is No Longer at Techstars

Managing Directors sometimes move on or change roles, but you are never without support. Departing MDs join our MD Alumni Network and remain reachable, and the wider Techstars team is here to help.

Reconnecting with your Managing Director

Managing Directors sometimes move on or change roles, but you are never without support. Departing MDs join our MD Alumni Network and remain reachable via their Techstars email addresses — you can always reach out to the leadership who originally backed you.

The best place to engage with the global Techstars community of founders, mentors, alumni, and partners is on Techstars Universe.

Ways We Can Help

Whatever you need, there is a clear path to the right person or team. Pick the option that matches your situation.

General assistance

For general help from Techstars, email portfolioservices@techstars.com. The Portfolio Services team can point you to the right resource or person across the organization.


Office hours with leadership

Book time directly with Techstars leadership through community office hours. Slots are limited and updated frequently, so check back often if none are open.



Introductions and connections

Use the brdg.app platform to request introductions. Log in with your company domain — active portfolio companies receive complimentary pro access.


Corporate development and M&A

For corporate development or M&A support, connect with Don Loeb of Headlands West, who previously led corporate development at Techstars from 2014 to 2019. Reach him through the community office hours booking link.
