Techstars , the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed, today announced a new accelerator program, the Launchpool Web3 Techstars Accelerator.

Applications for the Launchpool Web3 Techstars Accelerator will open on September 13, 2021 and be accepted through December 1, 2021. The first year of the accelerator will operate from March 2022 through June 2022.
