Techstars++ is a new program made to leverage Techstars’ network of corporate partners to provide new business opportunities to post accelerator program entrepreneurs. The Mayo Clinic is the program’s initial partner with additional companies and institutions expected to be announced in the future.

Techstars++ enables companies from across the Techstars network to spend time on site and engage with a relevant corporate partner, as well as receive hands-on mentorship.

For example, after completing Techstars, healthcare-oriented companies can spend two weeks at the Mayo Clinic exploring business development opportunities and other synergies. A full time Techstars Program Director will reside on-site and work closely with the startups and the corporation to help maximize the opportunity.

Techstars++ is free for Techstars companies.
