Introducing the First Techstars x EIT Urban Mobility Founder Catalyst Cohort

Today we are welcoming 14 startups into the first-ever Techstars x EIT Urban Mobility Founder Catalyst, a hybrid accelerator for early-stage founders changing how people and goods move through Europe's cities. Congratulations to every founder joining the Techstars and EIT Urban Mobility communities.

This class reflects the range of problems founders are tackling in urban mobility right now. From electrifying delivery fleets and giving EV batteries a second life to keeping autonomous vehicles safe without GPS, making rides safer for women and kids and giving city planners better data on walking and cycling.

14 companies · 11 countries · 10 weeks · 1 Demo Day in Barcelona

Over the next 10 weeks, founders will work on customer discovery, business model validation, traction and storytelling, supported by masterclasses, 1:1 mentorship, pitch coaching and peer sessions. The cohort will come together in Barcelona twice: at Norrsken House and Tomorrow.Mobility early November, and for a closing Founder Retreat and Demo Day on 3 December.
