Techstars Boulder Accelerator

(Updated 24 Jan 2023) Founded in 2007, this programme is the original Techstars Accelerator and has helped over 170 companies (who have raised over $2B) take their business to the next level. Techstars Boulder focuses on getting founders to product-market-fit faster and helps companies that want to raise their next round of funding run an efficient fundraising process. The 2022 Boulder Accelerator will be run in a hybrid in-person and remote format. In the first and final weeks of the programme, they will be in person in Boulder. They have designed the middle part of the programme for an optimal remote experience so that founders can choose to work wherever it is best for themselves and their business.
