Techstars London 2026: 6-startup cohort offering $20K plus $200K convertible note for 5% equity.
Techstars' first international program, establishing the global expansion strategy. Known for being exactingly selective and prioritizing founder quality over industry focus. Over 13 weeks, founders participated in structured sprints, attended skill-building workshops, and received direct mentorship from experienced operators.
Participating companies received $20K in seed capital in exchange for 5% equity, plus a $200K SAFE to support growth post-acceleration. The core value of the program extended far beyond capital. Founders gained direct access to Techstars' network of 10,000+ mentors—including successful founders, institutional investors, and subject matter experts across industries and geographies. This mentorship addressed critical challenges: product-market fit validation, go-to-market strategy, fundraising strategy, team building, and operational scaling. The 13-week program culminated in Demo Day, where founders pitched progress and traction to a carefully curated audience of institutional venture investors, corporate partners, and media. Successful demo days created momentum for follow-on funding rounds and strategic partnerships.
Notable alumni include: OP3Nvoice (won best presentation at inaugural demo day).
