We’re thrilled to announce the 10 companies in the 2018 Techstars Boulder class.

This is our 12th class since starting in 2007. The newest class has a diverse mix of incredible founders:

• This year’s class includes companies primarily based in Colorado, California, South Carolina, Minnesota, Tennessee, United Kingdom, and France.

• We have founders representing seven countries and 40% of our CEOs are under-represented in the early stage startup ecosystem.

• There are many different business models including marketplaces, consumer mobile, B2B SaaS, and ECommerce.

While there is a lot of diversity in the class, they are united by their leaders who all value mentorship, can build great teams, empower people, go fast and have high standards of integrity. They are obsessed, driven, and inspiring people. If this class is known for anything, it’s these characteristics.

As we enter our 12th program in Boulder, the core of our program remains the same. We connect our companies with a fantastic local mentor community and an ever-growing worldwide network to help entrepreneurs succeed. We are digging deeper on the concept of building companies from the inside out, our way of accelerating the people that are the core of the company. We cultivate cutting-edge practices and principles to help the companies go fast and turn motion into progress. And of course, we help the companies meet key investors who can join the journey and help the companies get to their next milestones.
