Of the 10 companies joining the 2021 cohort, eight were founded outside of Canada. This represents Techstars Toronto’s fourth cohort. The accelerator was launched in 2018, and is run in partnership with Real Ventures. The program typically runs for 13 weeks and provides funding, hands-on mentorship, and access to the Techstars global network. This year’s cohort will culminate in a demo day on July 1. Though Techstars Toronto’s previous cohorts have featured many international companies, the increased international makeup of the 2021 cohort comes at an interesting time. Over the last year, Canadian startups have been increasingly gaining access to international accelerator programs as remote operations break down geographic barriers.
