Techstars' Alexa Accelerator Opens Apps

Boulder-based startup accelerator operator Techstars says it has opened up applications for this year's Alexa Accelerator, powered by Techstars, the startup accelerator it operates in conjunction with Amazon's Alexa Fund to spur investment in startups using Amazon's Alexa technology. The startup accelerator, which first launched in 2016, is based in Seattle. Techstars said the next program will include 10 companies which will land in Seattle in Q3, as well as three international companies which will be based in both London and Seattle offices. Techstars said those startups will be supported by the newly announced $100M Alexa Fund.
