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.

Full Stack CEO™ is an operating system, community, and set of live labs for VC‑backed B2B SaaS and AI founders and CEOs from first revenue to ~25M ARR who want investor‑grade control over GTM, metrics, and capital without burning margin, people, or credibility.
We focus on the stages where you’ve raised capital and found traction, but complexity is rising faster than control: CAC payback stretches, NRR softens, burn creeps up, and every new motion or market makes the operating model harder to manage. Full Stack CEO is about becoming truly “full stack” across product/AI, GTM, and capital so you can read the whole system and make decisions your team and investors trust.
What we run:
• Full Stack CEO Community – Always‑on operating room for B2B SaaS / AI CEOs and VP‑level operators who want weekly support on GTM, metrics, and leadership, plus members‑only scorecards, templates, and live calls.
• Traction Lab (early‑stage, pre‑Seed to early Series A) – 6‑week accelerator for founders to sharpen ICP, build a simple repeatable GTM motion, and hit Seed/Series A traction and metric expectations investors actually underwrite.
• Control Lab (growth‑stage, ~5–25M ARR) – 12‑week accelerator for B2B SaaS CEOs to improve CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, sales efficiency, and Rule of 40, and to restore board confidence with a clear Control Plan.
Across these tracks, CEOs leave with a single Control or Traction Scorecard, clear GTM focus, 2–3 high‑leverage plays for the next 6–12 months, and an operating cadence their teams and boards can actually run.
Full Stack CEO™ was founded by Yannick Kpodar, a 2x VP/CMO turned GP at Aventra Capital, who has helped companies like LinkedIn, PayFit, Amenitiz, and Groupe BPCE raise $396M+, reach unicorn status, and scale ARR from single digits to $45M+ across the US and Europe.
Who we serve: VC/PE‑backed B2B SaaS / AI founders and CEOs from first revenue to ~25M ARR and funds seeking operator‑level GTM support for their portfolio.

Our mission is to help more people start better startups.
ODF is a program we created over four years ago to help those at the exploration stage of starting a company. So far, weve helped over 1000 companies get started and raise over $2 billion.
Starting a company is really exciting, but there are so many things you need to figure out in order to actually build one.
- "Who might I start my company with?"
- “What might we build?”
- “Who might our initial customers be?”
- “Should we raise funding soon, or should we try to bootstrap in the beginning?"
These and many more questions are what we refer to as the "missing pieces"—the things you need to figure out to know if starting a company is right for you and what company you should ultimately build.
With ODF, we bring together 80 to 100 people who are at the very same stage as you. Theyre all exceptionally talented, and theyre all trying to figure it out together.
