Techstars, a nearly 20 -year -old startup accelerator, has announced a new term for new companies in a three -month program. The group will now invest $ 100,000 more than before in a company that begins with the fall of 2025.
Capital is divided into two components. The group offers $ 20,000 in business in a business with a 5%ownership of business. New companies will also receive $ 200,000 in the form of unknown safe notes with the “most preferred country” clause. More simply, the Techstars ratio of $ 200,000 depends on the company’s follow -up evaluation. For example, if the startup’s next finance “price” is $ 10 million, Techstars will receive a 2%stake in a safety component for a total of 7%of ownership.
The new terms of Techstars now closely reflect the term Y combination. The famous silicon valley accelerator increased its new funds three years ago by adding $ 375,000 safe notes to $ 125,000 for 7%of startup stocks three years ago.
So what accelerator provides a better deal for new companies? The answer depends greatly on the company’s capital demands. Compared to Techstars, new companies that pass through YC gets more than twice the funds, but give up more capital.
