Boulder, Colorado  (July 10, 2023)

We are thrilled to officially unveil the next 12 remarkable companies participating in the Techstars Boulder Summer 2023 Program.  

The companies in this cohort will be joining us from Colorado, California, New Mexico, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania in addition to one company from Toronto, Canada. While there is still a strong FinTech representation among the latest investments, companies in this program span a variety of industries including LegalTech, Future of Work, HRTech, Cybersecurity, Insurtech, Construction, Ecommerce, and WealthTech. In this class, we've already noticed three strong themes; each company displays a remarkable blend of vision, earned insights into the problems they are solving, and disruptive solutions that position them as future industry leaders.

Techstars Boulder, the original Techstars Accelerator, has now backed 196 companies who have gone on to raise over $2 billion in capital since launching in 2007. With our proven track record we will be doubling down on what we do best, helping companies in getting to product-market fit faster through world-class mentorship and timely support throughout the discovery and growth stages of the business. 

As a Colorado native, I am excited to build upon the formula that has made Techstars Boulder alums successful by connecting founders to the best and brightest that the Techstars Boulder ecosystem has to offer. Our mentor pool, with over 110 mentors actively supporting this summer program, is as strong as ever and continues to be the key ingredient to the companies’ success in the program. We’re so grateful to have so many successful entrepreneurs, investors and subject matter experts share their expertise and wisdom with the companies throughout the 13-week accelerator and beyond. 

I am also beyond thrilled to be joining the skilled team of Techstars Boulder Staff (most of whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with in the past) led by Kallie Beebe, Sylvia Bouloutas, Sayles Day, Jonathan Fenzke, Keith Gruen, and Allie Lawn. 

Without further ado, please join us in welcoming these incredible founders to Techstars!
