Techstars Spring Accelerator

Techstars Spring 2026 Accelerator sits inside Techstars, the Boulder-based pre-seed venture firm, and is one of the network's accelerator cohorts rather than a grant programme. The spring route is global and part of a 3-month, mentorship-driven portfolio of more than 30 active programmes. It sits alongside the fall cycle and other city or partner-led cohorts. The current terms point to up to $220,000 total support, described as a $200,000 uncapped MFN SAFE plus a $20,000 stipend, with the network also noting older standard terms around $120,000. Eligible applicants are for-profit startups at roughly TRL 2-5, and the programme is oriented to deep-tech verticals. Applications move through Techstars' accelerator directory, and the best fit is a founder who wants capital, mentor access, and a branded cohort around a specific market or city. For teams looking for non-dilutive capital, this is the wrong route; for companies that want pre-seed backing and network leverage, it is the core Techstars offer.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
