 '''[[Techstars.com|Techstars]]'''&nbsp;is a global network that is designed to help entrepreneurs succeed, following the motto "Do More Faster". Their primary tool to help entrepreneurs succeed is their startup accelerator where they choose 300 companies per year, invest $120k, and connect each startup with mentors and a powerful network of resources to help them reach their goals. Their accelerator success rates are incredible. According to their website (as of 1/9/2017), they have supported 1274 companies, with 90% of them either active or acquired. Through their accelerator, they have raised over $4.4B, creating a market capitalization of the companies of over $11.4B. Business Insider analyzed the success rates of Techstars and found their failure rate to be only 6.15%, meaning that Techstars has been a tremendous success. Techstars has grown so much in the last couple of years that Business Insider claims that it is harder to be accepted into Techstars than it is to get into an ivy league school!&nbsp;

 In addition to their accelerator program, Techstars supports a wide variety of outlets to become involved in the startup community. Techstars&nbsp;hosts startup weekends across the United States and abroad where the participants experience first-hand the success, failures, and strain a startup goes through. They interact with a number of mentors, potential cofounders, and investors that help ideate problems and generate business from the ground-up.&nbsp;

 Techstars&nbsp;has a multitude of outlets to blend the best of UIF and entrepreneurship into one nugget. One avenue is for students to participate in a startup weekend event. Techstars&nbsp;hosts them across the United States, and you can find out specific locations and times [https://www.techstars.com/startup-weekend/ here]. On the first day, the participants meet, pitch ideas, and form teams - typically on a Friday night. The following day consists of ideating through the problem, meeting with mentors, and working on the project. The final day is presentation day! All of the groups pitch their startup to a panel of judges. To prep for the weekend, it might be good to have students think of problems in their daily lives to have ideas to pitch on the first day. In addition to attending an event, Techstars may be interested in having a university host a startup weekend. Contact one of the managing directors or regional Techstars team members to find out if this would be possible.&nbsp; Another route to integrating Techstars with UIF is to host a Techstars Startup week. Here is a brief summary from the Techstars website:
