Techstars, the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed, is now accepting applications for its Q3 2019 mentorship-driven accelerators. From St. Paul to Singapore, and from food and agriculture solutions to voice-powered technologies, 11 mentorship-driven accelerators around the globe and across a variety of industry verticals are looking for the best entrepreneurs to join their 2019 programs.
The Blackstone LaunchPad at Bird Library is now powered by Techstars, through a new strategic partnership thanks to the Blackstone Charitable Foundation.
