SeedStartup joins the TechStars Network

Today I’m thrilled to announce that SeedStartup has joined the TechStars Network, a select invitation-only group of startup accelerators in major cities across the United States and around the world.

The TechStars Network is comprised of other startup accelerator programs similar to SeedStartup that provide seed funding and mentorship to innovative entrepreneurs.

As a member of the TechStars Network, SeedStartup will have access to a rich set of strategic resources and ongoing support to effectively lead and mentor innovative entrepreneurs in the MENA region and around the world. SeedStartup will collaborate with the TechStars Network in:

• sharing best practices
• enabling cross-border mentoring
• facilitating cross-border networking between founders
• encouraging cross-border investment

What does that mean for our startups? Incredible exposure in the U.S. and internationally, potential for follow-on funding from world renowned venture capitalists and angel investors, and unparalleled networking opportunities to rub shoulders with the best and brightest entrepreneurial minds in the world.

“We are very happy to welcome SeedStartup to the TechStars Network,” said David Cohen, founder and CEO of TechStars. “The TechStars Network signals and formalizes our support for high quality mentorship-driven programs like SeedStartup. We believe the proliferation of the mentorship-driven accelerator model is healthy for entrepreneurs. Through this network of independent organizations, we can help increase their impact dramatically and make entrepreneurial communities the real winners.”
