About Techstars Equitech:

The accelerator is a collaboration between Techstars, the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed, and UpSurge Baltimore, the organization that is propelling Baltimore into the top tier of U.S. innovation cities with a distinct focus: to become the country’s first Equitech city, one which recognizes diversity as a force multiplier and an engine for outsized growth.

Through the strong partnership and jointly held vision of Techstars Equitech Managing Director, Adam Phillips, and Upsurge Baltimore CEO Jamie McDonald, the Equitech Accelerator is delivering on the city's mission to erase the inequities of building a diverse, equitable and inclusive tech ecosystem. The companies are led by founders from underestimated communities delivering industry-disrupting innovations.
