Deadline: 11-May-22
Techstars Miami Powered by J.P. Morgan Accelerator Program is designed to provide equitable access to funding and support for Black, Hispanic and Latino, Indigenous American and Pacific Islander entrepreneurs. This industry agnostic accelerator prioritizes startups at any stage whose core customer base is within the Americas and whose founders have a deep understanding of their customer’s pain and have demonstrated an extraordinary ability to execute quickly.
The upcoming program will run in a remote-first format with the first and final weeks in person, and the rest of the program operating in a remote setting. Through game-changing investment community partnerships, together they will take steps towards dismantling institutional, structural, and systematic barriers that often limit opportunities.

- Access to Techstars resources for life;
- Acceleration in a 90-day Techstars mentorship-driven accelerator program with personal mentorship and office space;

Eligibility Criteria
- Techstars funds all types of startups, working in all verticals, using any type of business model. Do keep in mind, however, that the focus is on startups rather than small businesses.
- The Techstars program will provide you with the healthiest possible start and greatly improve your chances for success and sustainability. Once they invest, they are motivated to help you succeed by introducing you to people who can help, assisting you with strategy, finding more investors, and generally helping you win all along your entrepreneurial journey.
- Techstars do their best to avoid accepting competitive companies into the same program class. However, with the growing number of Techstars companies, there may be competitive companies in the broader Techstars network. In the event there is a company in the Techstars portfolio that’s competitive, they work tirelessly to ensure there is no exchange of sensitive data.
