Meet the Fall 2025 Class of Techstars New York City
Dec 05, 2025
Techstars New York City is proud to announce its Fall 2025 cohort, which features startups in a range of industries, including AI infra & agents, biotech/genomics & AI drug discovery, fintech, proptech, gov/intelligence & dual-use data, and supply-chain compliance.
The selected companies are led by founders who have a deep understanding of customer pain, an ability to execute quickly, and the potential to generate billions of revenue. Simple criteria yet incredibly hard for any founder to meet.
This is also the first cohort under the new Techstars deal terms: $220,000, with an uncapped, no-discount MFN SAFE plus 5% common stock.
The Fall 2025 class includes:

RakeML is the first predictive AI engine for the built world, starting with forecasting roof failures from only an address and unlocking an $80B roofing market.
