Description of Ideal Candidate
What kind of companies do you fund?
We fund technology oriented companies, typically web-based or other software companies, but we’ve funded companies that don’t quite fit that mold as well. We’re also looking for companies that can have national or worldwide reach. Specifically, we don’t fund biotechnology companies, restaurants, consultancies, or other local service oriented companies.
Do you fund companies that are competitive with each other?
We do our best to avoid accepting competitive companies into the same program class. However, with the growing number of Techstars companies, it is possible that there may be competitive companies in the broader Techstars network. In the event there is a company in the Techstars portfolio that’s competitive, we work tirelessly to ensure there is no exchange of sensitive data.
