Techstars operates 50 accelerators worldwide - including countries like Abu Dhabi, the Netherlands, the United States, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Australia and Italy. To date, Techstars has incubated over 2,589 companies, including 12 Unicorns worth more than $1 billion, adding up to a joint market capitalization exceeding $52.2b.
Techstars launched its Tel Aviv program in 2016, and has thus far worked with 60 companies here, the company’s international CEO Maelle Gavet said.
The program combines a solid network of talented individuals and an educational program based on workshops with experts and weekly KPI tracking. This method will allow founders to massively accelerate their business in all aspects, Techstars said.
Applications will end on September 20, with 12 to be selected to be part of a 13-week mentorship program and receive initial funding up to $120,000.
The program will begin on October 17, and will end in early January 2022 with the celebration of Demo Day, where the founders will pitch their start-up before investors.
“This is the first time we are opening two programs of the global Accelerator in Tel Aviv in the same year,” said Hilla Ovil-Brenner, managing director of the Tel Aviv program. “I see it as an honest vote of confidence in the local program, in the Israeli ecosystem, and for Israeli start-ups in general. It is a great opportunity to have 12 companies take part with the unique international network of Techstars.”Apply here >>
