Deadline: 17 January 2025
The Techstars, a pre-seed investor, and Emory University has launched the Techstars Emory Founder Catalyst program in collaboration with The Hatchery, Emory Center for Innovation and Goizueta Business School’s Roberto C. Goizueta Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
The pre-accelerator program represents a collective commitment to cultivate a startup ecosystem that inspires and supports entrepreneurship within Emory’s community.
Techstars Emory Founder Catalyst will provide early-stage entrepreneurs from Emory’s community with world-class startup education and hands-on mentorship to help them progress on their entrepreneurial journey. The program will run twice, with the inaugural cohort launching in early 2025. Ten startups will be selected to participate in-person in Atlanta, where the 10-week program will culminate in a pitch competition, providing founders the opportunity to showcase their companies to investors, mentors, and the surrounding entrepreneurial community. Teams need at least one Emory-affiliated member actively involved with the startup, who must commit to weekly in-person sessions.
Funding Information
- Each company receives up to $120,000 in funding, and access to the worldwide network of investors, hands-on mentorship, and over $4M of perks.
