Techstars Transformative World Accelerator Program (Italy)

Techstars accelerators have one goal: to help entrepreneurs succeed. During each three-month program, they surround companies with the best mentors and an unrivaled network of corporate partners, investors, and alumni. They provide funding and fundraising opportunities, workshops, and curated resources, not to mention countless moments where you can learn from your peers. It’s a proven model that’s helped build thousands of successful companies, all over the world.

Techstars is the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed. As one of the largest pre-seed investors in the world, they’ve funded over 3,200 companies that have gone on to have a market cap of $79B+. Techstars portfolio companies include more than 100 companies with valuations of over $100M, and 19 of them have already reached unicorn status including SendGrid, ClassPass, and Chainalysis.

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.

Program Activities

• While each program is different, here are a few typical activities:
  • Office hours with guest mentors and investors.
  • Workshops and masterclasses delivered by industry experts on specific topics like hiring, marketing, tech, product, etc.
  • Founder stories: serial entrepreneurs come and share how they built their companies. The best part is that it’s more than what you read online – in this context, founders speak honestly about what really went down.
  • Intensive pitch practice, in preparation for Demo Day and fundraising.
  • Plus anything else the program team thinks would benefit your experience and help you #DoMoreFaster — many activities are curated to the needs of the founders and companies in each program, meaning that no program is exactly the same twice.
