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.

Provenance turns product claims into proof. Each claim (e.g 'Vegan' or Cruelty-Free') is independently validated and published as a Proof Point: structured, machine-readable data your customers trust and AI agents recommend when deciding what to buy.
As shopping moves to AI, the data behind every claim matters more than ever. AI agents recommend products based on what they can rely on, not marketing copy.
The brands and retailers building on proven claims now are the ones AI systems learn to cite and customers come back to.
Working with 370+ brands and retailers including Holland & Barrett, Unilever, Estée Lauder, THG and Ocado.
