Upon acceptance to a Techstars Accelerator, every company is offered a $100,000 convertible note.

When you join a Techstars Accelerator, you also receive:
Access to Techstars resources for life.
Acceleration in a 90-day Techstars mentor-based Accelerator program with personal mentorship and office space to accelerate your business.
Lifetime access to the Techstars worldwide network of entrepreneurs including more than 10,000 mentors; 2,700 investors; 1,200 alumni companies and 180 staff members.
Access to over $300k of cash equivalent hosting, accounting and, legal support –plus other credits and perks worth more than $1M.

We're stoked to be part of this network and help BLKTECHCLT companies level up.

Good luck,

Sherrell
Co-Founder, BLKTECHCLT
