Startups Make Their Pitch to Get Into TechStars [VIDEO]

One of the biggest moments in an entrepreneur’s life can be their pitch to a potential investor. In order to get into TechStars, one of the leading startup accelerator programs, companies must first stand out from hundred of applicants and be chosen to present their idea in-person to the program’s investors.

In the second episode of TechStars, the documentary about the process that we are airing on Mashable, teams are invited to the TechStars office in New York City to give their pitch. While some of the teams nail their big moment, others struggle, with a co-founder of one of the startups embarrassingly showing up late to the meeting.
