Today TechStars will be hosting its “Demo Day” in Boulder where 12 new startups will be unveiled to investors, venture funds and entrepreneurs.
TechStars is a mentorship-driven seed stage investment program. It’s a three month long program in Boston (MA), Boulder (CO), New York City (NY) and Seattle (WA) once each year. Selected companies(mostly ten from each city) get up to $18,000 in seed funding, three months of intensive mentorship, and the chance to pitch to angel investors and venture capitalists at the end of the program.
