This second Founder Catalyst Program comes on the heels of a successful first program in Atlanta during the fall of 2021 where 20 women-led ventures made incredible progress taking their companies to the next level.
The program will cultivate a local community of innovative and ambitious women of the Washington DC area. The Techstars Founder Catalyst Program in partnership with J.P. Morgan will take place March through May 2022, where in-depth entrepreneurial sessions and resources will be provided to participants in a virtual format.
The inaugural Techstars Founder Catalyst Program in partnership with J.P Morgan focused on Atlanta-based founders and led to over four hundred fifty mentor connections, three product launches, over six hundred fifty thousand dollars raised, and dozens of active investors conversations. In addition, three participants from the cohort were recently accepted into Techstars accelerators. Through the Techstars Founder, Catalyst Programs participants receive education on proven methodologies and access to world-class resources, increasing chances of success. TechStar’s expertise stems from its experience operating nearly 50 accelerators around the world and maintaining a portfolio of more than 2,900 companies. Collectively, the Techstars portfolio has raised more than $19.7 billion from investors and is currently worth more than $189 billion today.
