Today marks the third year of the Techstars San Diego Powered by SDSU accelerator program. This year, the program welcomes a new class of seven early-stage founders who will spend the next 13 weeks building, iterating, and scaling on SDSU’s campus with mentorship from the best of the San Diego and the Techstars global network.

This cohort represents an exciting mix of sectors, from life science, space, and compliance tech to developer tools and marketing technology innovation, and brings founders from across the U.S. and around the world. As with previous Techstars San Diego Powered by SDSU classes, these teams will benefit from SDSU’s research and talent pipeline, plus the supportive staff and campus resources courtesy of Hala Madanat, Vice President of Research & Innovation; Cathy Pucher, Executive Director of Research & Innovation; and Alex Altomare, Sr. Director of Development.

“Being part of Techstars San Diego powered by SDSU means access to an invaluable network of experienced entrepreneurs, mentors, staff, faculty, and alumni,” says Managing Director Misti Cain, who leads the program and the team supporting this class. Founders will walk away with clearer product-market fit, stronger go-to-market plans, and new investor relationships that can power their next raise.

Please join us in welcoming the Fall 2025 Techstars San Diego powered by SDSU class and follow along as we share founder stories, milestones, and Demo Day details in the coming weeks.
