Techstars Equitech Accelerator Application

This accelerator is for startups from any sector that are grounded in the values of diversity, led by founders from underestimated communities, or developing technologies that increase access and equity across society.

Applications are open year-round and will be considered on a rolling basis. Your application will be valid for 12 months from the date of application. Completing the application should take you 30–60 minutes. We encourage you to complete this with any co-founders. Given the velocity of our investments, you may hear back from us immediately, but typically within 60–90 days of applying, or four weeks after applications close. Look out for an email from Techstars Apply.
