Techstars launches $100M fund for 2021 accelerator

BOULDER — Startup accelerator Techstars is kicking off a campaign to raise $100 million for investment for its cohort companies next year.

According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday, the Boulder-based accelerator has yet to receive any investment in the venture fund.

Techstars run multiple industry and geographically specific accelerator programs across the world, including the latest edition of its Boulder program. Applications for that accelerator open on July 20, with the program kicking off in late January 2021 and ending on April 22 that year.

It’s unclear if the $100 million is earmarked for the upcoming Boulder accelerator group, or if it will be spread across multiple programs. Techstars has previously raised venture funds via what appears to be three general-purpose companies: Techstars Global LLC, Techstars Holdings LLC and Techstars Holdings Management LLC.

According to a review of other securities filings, Techstars has raised capital via 17 other affiliated companies, all of which either designate the year or the location of which the cohorts were held. 

Techstars did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
