Featured

We’re excited to announce our March 2022 class of 12 companies (with another coming in September!). We’re kicking off the program today (in-person!) in our shiny new offices in Culver City, just steps from Main Street and The Platform!  And with mask mandates relaxing, declining COVID cases, and plenty of outdoor space at our new digs, we can’t wait to see everyone this Spring.

This year’s applicant pool was one of the most competitive ever in terms of traction and the caliber of teams represented. As with our last class, this cohort is truly global.  Our companies will be joining us from London, Toronto, Sweden, Singapore, Mauritius (and of course from across the US).   

We’re excited about the range of industries as well, which will benefit well from the industries LA and our mentors excel in: Healthcare, Aerospace, B2B SaaS, Retail Enablement, PropTech, Quantum Computing.

The Techstars Los Angeles March 2022 Class also continues to build on our commitment to investing in diverse and underrepresented teams. Of the 12 companies, 6 are led by women CEOs, 6 are led by CEOs that identify as racially or ethnically diverse and 10 are led by underrepresented CEOs. Thank you to our sponsors, partners, mentors, and Techstars alumni who help to make Techstars LA successful. Please join me in welcoming the Techstars LA Class of 2022!
