Your real odds
Techstars accepts around 1% of applicants per cohort, making it one of the most selective accelerators running.
Multiple programs run globally, so there are several entry points across a given year, but each cohort makes its own cuts independently. Selection weighs fit with the program's focus heavily, so a misaligned application competes at a disadvantage.

Worth knowing
Techstars runs vertical programs in Health, Finance, Space and Defense, and Critical Infrastructure alongside city-based generalist programs, and applying to the vertical that matches your startup puts you in front of investors and mentors who already understand your market.
