Techstars helps founders scale their startups into world-changing businesses. Founded in 2006, Techstars is on a mission to invest in startups to enable more capital to flow to more entrepreneurs around the world in order to deliver exceptional returns to our investors. We do this by operating accelerator programs and venture capital funds, as well as by connecting startups, investors, corporations, and cities to help build thriving startup communities. Our results show why Techstars is Better for Founders than any other global accelerator: On average, 74.5% of Techstars companies will raise money within 3 years of their program; 18.5% of Techstars portfolio companies have exited 5 years after their program and 31.1% after eight years.

Swartz Labs is involved in building disruptive technologies and taking them to market. We are a new breed of technical partner focused on using scientific methodologies to test ideas. WE CALL OURSELVES IDEA SCIENTISTS We believe that every system, every product and every conception can be improved and will be forever evolving. Those that stop innovating and continue doing what has previously worked will always be left behind. We believe that there is boundless opportunity in every industry. We are interested in creating new products that bend the rules of existing systems, to create newfangled societal behaviours that push innovation to inconceivable heights. We are trying to create a movement, a new type of business model that supports the change-makers in our society. We’re not just a development shop or a technical advisor. We see ourselves as your strategic co-founder, one that will continue on this journey with you for the long haul. We want to empower people with the help they need to do what they believe in.
