By KJ Singh, Managing Director of the Techstars NYC powered by J.P. Morgan Accelerator
Today, after our much anticipated Demo Day, the Techstars NYC powered by J.P. Morgan Fall 2024 Accelerator Program founders officially become alumni! This is the 13th NYC-based program that I have run and the 17th overall, which represents over 200 companies.
This year, Christine Hong, Vera Benkoil, and I received applications from over 80 countries and ultimately selected a group of global founders that hail from Nigeria, Egypt, and Mexico as well as various cities in the U.S. including New York, Seattle, Washington D.C. and Boston.
We had a very competitive application pool and selecting these 12 companies was extremely difficult. The companies joining us in this year’s class are helping solve many issues - from tools that boost e-comm brands’ checkout conversions and customer reach, to technology enabling families to access convenient, quality child care, and solutions making health care data more accessible.
Please join us in welcoming the Techstars NYC powered by J.P. Morgan Fall 2024 accelerator class!
