Techstars is a pre-seed and early-stage venture capital firm that offers mentorship-driven investment to startups through its accelerator programs. It identifies founders through a global network and provides capital, mentorship, and connections as part of that investment.
Techstars operates locations around the world where founders work with its team and mentors. It structures its accelerator investment as common equity rather than preferred stock, which places it on the same side of the table as the founders it backs, unlike some investors that only receive preferred stock. The startups it backs range from first-time entrepreneurs to early-stage teams.
