Selection process
The application window for the September 2026 cohort typically opens in March and closes in June. The selection process follows Techstars' standard multi-stage review, which comprehensively assesses various aspects of the applicant companies.
Key evaluation criteria include:
- Team strength: The capability, experience, and cohesion of the founding team.
- Product innovation: The originality, technical depth, and market potential of the startup's product or technology.
- Growth potential: The scalability and projected impact of the venture in its target market.
Selected companies commence the remote-first program in September. While primarily remote, the program includes three mandatory in-person offsites to foster deeper connections and collaboration. The accelerator culminates in a Demo Day in December, where startups showcase their progress. The specific investment terms are finalized through a signed term sheet with Techstars.
