Find out what it takes to get into the TechStars accelerator and secure funding from TechStars Pitch Coach Will Greenblatt. In my recent conversation with Will on The Value, we delved into what it takes to make it into Techstars and secure funding. Will's extensive experience as a Techstars mentor shed light on the qualities founders need to succeed in the program. According to Will, Techstars seeks founders who are not only brilliant but also deeply committed to solving a specific problem. Founder-market fit is crucial, with Techstars prioritizing individuals who understand their customers' pain points. Will emphasized the importance of authenticity in pitching, urging founders to connect their personal stories to their business endeavours. #TheValue #Techstars #StartupSuccess #FounderInsights

"We receive a lot of pitch decks at M13. It's hard to stand out." Enter M13 RocketGuides. Last week at VC Platform Summit by VC Platform Global Community, M13 Partner (and former founder himself!) Rob Smith shared our interactive pitch deck template for early-stage founders working on fundraising. Rob explains: “Sometimes, there are great ideas that could be packaged more strongly. We wanted to create a resource for those founders. There are thousands of articles with "10 quick tips" to make sure your startup gets funded—I’ve gone through a lot of them myself—but we wanted to create more of a masterclass. Something interactive, not just an article you read. A choose-your-own-adventure where you can say, I need help with this or this specifically.” Built by founders, for founders, RocketGuides is one of our most valuable offerings—and the fundraising guide is just the beginning.
