The ABN AMRO + Techstars Future of Finance Accelerator is seeking applications to support unstoppable founders across Europe who are redefining the future of finance, providing funding, mentorship, and a global network to scale innovative fintech, sustainability, and digital asset solutions.
The program focuses on founder growth, execution of business milestones, fundraising strategy, mentorship, corporate partnerships, investor access, workshops, curated resources, and opportunities to learn, iterate, and grow with a global cohort.
Techstars accelerators run for three months and aim to help founders succeed by surrounding companies with world-class mentors, corporate partners, investors, alumni, funding, and fundraising support. The program provides curated workshops, masterclasses, intensive pitch preparation, and practical guidance to accelerate growth.
In month one, founders grow their network, connect with mentors and peers, and establish the foundations for their startup’s growth. Month two focuses on execution, where participants put learnings into practice, track KPIs, build prototypes, develop products, acquire initial customers, and prepare proof of concept with guidance from lead mentors and program managers. Month three centers on fundraising strategy and Demo Day, where founders refine their story, perfect their pitch, and secure investor attention to raise capital.
Participants receive a $220,000 investment, access to world-class mentors, a global network of corporate partners, investors, and alumni, curated workshops and resources, and opportunities to access perks valued at over $4 million, all designed to accelerate startup growth and impact.
Throughout the program, founders engage in office hours with mentors and investors, founder story sessions, industry-specific masterclasses, pitch practice, and other tailored activities to meet the unique needs of each startup and cohort.
The ABN AMRO + Techstars Future of Finance Accelerator provides funding, mentorship, and resources that empower founders to build impactful companies, solve hard problems, and drive innovation across Europe’s financial sector.
