Meet the latest Techstars Seattle cohort: 10 startups on how they’ve adapted to the pandemic
April 16, 2021 at 9:52 am
The latest Techstars Seattle cohort kicked off an entirely virtual 3-month startup accelerator journey in January. Unlike the 2020 class, which had to pivot to a remote format in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 participants and Techstars organizers are applying lessons learned from the past year of remote work.

The virtual format offers some benefits such as eliminating commutes and broader investor outreach, despite lacking the in-person connections that typically drive the accelerator experience.
