USC and Techstars
University Catalyst

The USC and Techstars University Catalyst is a ten-week pre-accelerator program that provides early-stage entrepreneurs (pre-funding or idea-stage) with the training, tools, mentorship, and network to prepare them for the next level. There will be a concerted effort to support startups affiliated with the USC community, including faculty/staff, alumni and students.  

Techstars Founder Catalyst programs cultivate a community of innovative and ambitious entrepreneurs who are all highly motivated to support each other’s success. This part-time, primarily virtual experience is perfectly suited for founders looking to hone their entrepreneurial skills, better understand their target customers, and dig deeply into refining the solutions they are offering the world.
