Listed offer value
$220,000Costs 5% common stock + SAFE; APAC total $120K
Eligibility & conditions
Techstars runs three-month mentorship-driven accelerator programs and invests $220,000 in each company it accepts. The investment is $20,000 through a Post-Money Convertible Equity Agreement that converts to 5% common stock, plus a $200,000 uncapped MFN SAFE. There is no monetary fee to join, so the cost is the 5% common stock plus the future conversion of the SAFE. Programs in Asia-Pacific offer a $100,000 uncapped MFN SAFE instead of $200,000, for a $120,000 total.

How to apply
5 steps- Open https://www.techstars.com/accelerators and pick a program. Each program page lists its own Applications Open date and Final Deadline.
- Check the fit on that program page. Programs are sector specific and some restrict participation by time zone, for example Techstars Anywhere requires North American time zones.
- Create an account at https://apply.techstars.com/ and start the application for the program you picked.
- Submit before the Final Deadline shown on the program page. Boston and Anywhere both show Applications Open Aug 24 2026 and Final Deadline Nov 18 2026, with the program starting Mar 08 2027.
- Read https://www.techstars.com/newsroom/investment-terms before accepting an offer, because the $220,000 is an equity investment and not credits.
