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.

In the years since 2009, Web Summit has grown from a 150-person conference in Dublin to a global event series gathering more than 140,000 attendees every year from all over the world. We build incredible things, from technology and stages to relationships and experiences. Since 2009, we've grown our team to more than 340 people. At our headquarters in Dublin, Ireland – and in Portugal, Canada, Qatar, Brazil and many more locations around the world – incredible engineers, developers, producers, designers, marketers and salespeople come together to create unique global events. In Europe, North America, South America, Asia and the Middle East, we are builders of world-class global technology festivals. Our events take on the flavour of their surroundings, while still retaining the successful framework we've fine-tuned over the years. Web Summit events have become unrivalled global meeting places for the world's most disruptive technology companies, and for those interested in how that disruption can transform their businesses and their lives.
