JUMP CONCLUSION
Techstars focuses on early-stage, global investments, often participating in seed and pre-seed rounds without leading. Their diverse portfolio emphasizes technology with a geographical concentration in the US and Europe, particularly in tech hubs like San Francisco, New York, and London. They favor startups with a technological edge and potential for significant market impact, especially in emerging fields.
Good Beauty Funder Fit. More of an accelerator but organizes demo days and most startups get funding. Mainly a fit for technology enabled beauty & wellness brands.
