Securing funding is one of the most difficult hurdles for any startup. Founders need to build genuine relationships with investors, tell the story of their company through a well-crafted pitch, and create a financial model to show revenue and cost projections — among a long list of other “to-dos” during the fundraising process. 🚀 Read more in the recent edition of the Techstars newsletter!

Sensei (Techstars 2017) raised $16M to expand its contactless store platform in Europe! Sensei's system uses computer vision and AI-powered sensors to automatically update the store payment system with the contents of customers’ carts, and when they’re ready to check out, it will display a list of the items, all ready to be paid for. “There’s two problems in the retail industry. The experience for customers sucks. Secondly, it’s very hard to process all of the sales information in real time. Now, it’s really about the automation of stores, like the automation of cars and the automation of factories. I think it’s a natural transition." - Vasco Portugal, CEO and Cofounder Read more in TechCrunch 👇 https://lnkd.in/gEfE5ajF

David R. Medina Álvarez is revolutionizing the outdoor adventure experience with LIVAQ (Techstars 2024), an electric off-road vehicle company. 🏎️ Born in Mexico, David became fascinated by automobiles as a toddler, and says he knew at age 8 that he wanted to become a car designer. Inspired by childhood memories of driving ATVs in Acapulco, he created LIVAQ, an electric ATV company. David and his team have built a prototype, secured funding, and hope to deliver 250 to 500 finished models in 2025, and within five years, would like to produce 2,000 a year.
