Techstars Anywhere is Techstars' fully remote-first accelerator, designed for founders who cannot or prefer not to relocate. Like all Techstars programmes, it runs for 3 months with a small, high-quality cohort. UK founders are eligible and have previously been accepted. The programme provides mentorship from Techstars' global mentor network (10,600+ mentors), access to corporate partners, and culminates in a Demo Day. Alongside Anywhere, other Techstars vertical tracks (AI, healthtech, workforce development) are also open until June 2026.
