Techstars Community Hub Expands Support for Midwest Startups
Techstars, a global accelerator with a growing presence in the Midwest, announced a major expansion of its Community Hub program to support emerging founders in Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, and surrounding areas.
The initiative will offer local founders free access to startup playbooks, mentor matchmaking, curated investor events, and co-branded programming led by experienced entrepreneurs.
"The heartland has proven it can produce high-performing startups," said Alexis Grant, Senior Director at Techstars. "We’re investing more than ever in regional infrastructure to make sure founders in the Midwest aren't left behind in the global tech race."
The Community Hub includes virtual and in-person events, including weekly founder circles and quarterly pitch nights. Techstars is also partnering with regional innovation hubs like The Combine in Lincoln and the Startup Collaborative in Omaha to extend their reach.
Startups in the region can now apply for access to the Community Hub via Techstars’ official platform: techstars.com/communities.
