Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator Launches 2021 Class

What You Should Know:

– Techstars, today announce the 2021 class of the Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator, run in partnership with Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company created by Melinda French Gates to advance social progress in the United States.

– The 13-week program focuses on innovative solutions to address the unmet needs of older adults and their caregivers. Program themes include aging in place, caregiver support, care coordination, financial wellness, preventive health, and social engagement.

2021 Class Background

The 2021 Techstars Future of Longevity Class represents the experience, tenacity and deep connection to finding solutions in this space during a time when isolation, financial security, and care navigation have an outsized impact on seniors and caregivers. The class also demonstrates Techstars commitment to invest in diverse-led teams with the majority of the companies being led by underrepresented CEOs, including half by women.

The founding teams of the selected companies will build strong relationships with thought leaders in the longevity space and leverage a mentor network of industry experts, successful entrepreneurs, investors, and prospective partners. Each company will use the program to accelerate the development of their solutions, and by the end of the program the companies will have engaged with over 100 mentors, formed deep relationships across the Techstars and Pivotal Ventures’ global networks, iterated on their product, business model and growth milestones, and mastered the ability to communicate their vision. The class will showcase their progress in a Demo Day the week of February 14, 2022.
