About this funding program
The Techstars Anywhere Accelerator is a remote-first program offered by Techstars, designed to support innovative companies across various industries from anywhere in the world. This accelerator delivers the comprehensive value of a Techstars program remotely, integrating three mandatory in-person offsites held in key global startup ecosystems to foster deeper connections and collaboration. The program provides standard Techstars investment terms per signed term sheet, giving founders both capital and the credibility of the Techstars brand. Participants benefit from access to Techstars' extensive global network of over 10,000 mentors, a broad investor community, and a high-visibility Demo Day opportunity to showcase progress to active investors. Entry into the exclusive alumni network of over 4,000 successful companies across 150+ countries provides ongoing peer support, referrals, and deal flow long after the program concludes.
Participating companies receive guidance from dedicated program managers at every stage, structured weekly programming including focused workshops, expert speaker sessions, and critical team reviews, as well as direct introductions to Techstars Ventures and external investors. Co-working spaces are provided during the three in-person offsites held at major global startup hubs. The current cohort actively prioritises companies working in robotics, energy, applied and physical artificial intelligence, and advanced materials science, while welcoming innovators across all technology sectors. A full suite of portfolio perks and service credits supports operational needs throughout and beyond the program.
