Techstars Accelerator

Techstars operates global accelerator programs accepting startups from India. Techstars’ investment terms page states a $220,000 package consisting of $20,000 CEA and $200,000 uncapped MFN SAFE. Techstars restructured its global accelerator terms in 2025 to a standard $220,000 package split between a $20,000 Post-Money Convertible Equity Agreement for roughly 5% ownership and a $200,000 uncapped MFN SAFE, replacing its older per-program terms; note that Techstars' Asia-Pacific programs (including its Bangalore accelerator, launched in 2019 as its first India-based program) have historically used a smaller $100,000 uncapped MFN SAFE structure, so founders should confirm the exact terms for the specific regional program they apply to rather than assuming the global figure applies uniformly.
