Thinking of applying to Techstars? In this episode of Founders’ Backpack, we dive into what it’s really like to join one of the world’s most well-known accelerator programs. From the moment you hit “submit” on your application to the pressure and prep leading up to Demo Day, we’re breaking it all down—naturally, with a little storytelling and firsthand insight along the way.
We’ll also talk about Techstars’ updated $220K investment offer, what happens during the famous “Mentor Madness,” and why team dynamics matter more than your idea at the start. If you're a founder thinking about accelerators, this one's for you.
