The accelerator ends. The momentum doesn't.
Founders leave a Techstars accelerator with mentors, investors, and a global network that keeps working for them long after Demo Day, and the funding tends to follow.
Applications for our Spring 2027 cohort are open. If you're tious, this is your moment.
Apply today: tsta.rs/UQXM50ZLFe9

Congrats to @optivolt on the $32M Series A. Great to see the momentum.
Today I’m excited to share that Optivolt is unstealthing with a $32M Series A.
Solar growth continues to outpace all other forms of energy production, but the granularity of control we get from deployed systems hasn’t changed in decades.
So we’ve added a brain inside solar panels, opening the door for a new unit of optimization and control.
