This Techstars program focuses on exceptional entrepreneurs across all areas of fintech. Why ABN AMRO? Why Techstars? ABN AMRO is extremely committed to disruptive innovation and fintech, and is already running a €100m venture fund to invest in the sector. The accelerator’s proximity to ABN AMRO’s headquarters in Amsterdam will provide founders access to industry experts, technologists, data scientists and business sponsors across the bank that can offer startups highly personalized feedback and business development opportunities internally and across its vast client network. Time is money for a startup, and the Group Innovation Team at ABN AMRO has the capability to work with startups in a productive environment dedicated to innovation where startups’ products or services can be deployed internally for proofs-of-concept and live pilots within 24 hours. At Techstars, our programmes are designed to help founders gain traction through deep mentor engagement, rapid iteration cycles, and fundraising preparation. We accept 10 startups per programme, enabling us to offer each startup a customised, high-touch experience based on the unique needs and skills of each founding team. Our portfolio of over 2,200 startups have raised more than $10 billion in funding. 84% of these startups are still active or have been acquired. Techstars can materially improve the odds of your startup's success. You can learn more about the benefits of our accelerators here: https://www.techstars.com/startups
