Founders are unstoppable. 🚀
Are you working to build a better world?
We want to hear from you! Applications to Techstars global fall programs close May 22nd.
First time founders don't fail from lack of effort. They fail from lack of the right network.
In this episode of Your Startup Community, Chris Heivly breaks down why the most underrated value of a great accelerator isn't the check or the curriculum. It's the curated, ready-to-use network that compresses years of learning into weeks.

AlterEcho (Techstars 2025) has been named the winner of the EU-Startups Summit 2026 Pitch Competition! 🏆
Against more than 1,600 applicants and a field of 15 exceptional finalists, AlterEcho stood out for a vision that is as ambitious as it is grounded: changing how skilled professionals work inside the world's most controlled environments.
Founded by Marco Molinari, AlterEcho is building a robotic embodiment platform for the life sciences. The company combines robotic avatars with AI agents to enable skilled professionals to work remotely inside cleanrooms and hazardous environments, without ever physically stepping inside them.
Massive congratulations to the team! Time to celebrate!
Water is the world's most critical and least understood resource. 💧
Most river basins globally lack the data needed for reliable planning. Yet multi-million-dollar decisions about water supply, infrastructure, and climate adaptation hinge on it every day.
That's why Alexa Bruce built Tova. Tova (Techstars 2025) is transforming how utilities and water-intensive industries understand water risk, using physics-informed AI and satellite data to deliver basin-scale hydrologic modeling that's 10x cheaper and 90% faster than traditional approaches.
When you join Techstars, you aren’t just joining a program; you’re entering a partnership with a world-class Managing Director.
