Seeking Techstars Consultant to Help Position Safety Brand for Accelerator Success

Hello, I'm the founder of SwypeSure, a growing safety startup, and I'm looking for an experienced Techstars Consultant who has successfully worked with startups applying to or participating in Techstars and can help position SwypeSure Verify for accelerator success. I'm looking for someone who understands what Techstars is looking for beyond simply polishing an application. I want a strategic advisor who can help refine our story, strengthen our business model, identify weaknesses, and improve our chances of becoming a competitive Techstars company. About SwypeSure Verify SwypeSure Verify is an AI-powered safety platform designed to help people make safer, more informed decisions before meeting someone in person. Our vision is to build technology that increases trust, reduces risk, and gives users greater confidence through intelligent safety features and verification tools. We have already developed an early prototype and are now focused on refining the product, validating the business model, and preparing the company for accelerator programs and future fundraising. What I'm Looking For - Direct experience with Techstars as a founder, mentor, managing director, Entrepreneur-in-Residence, or startup advisor. - Experience helping early-stage startups become investor and accelerator ready. - Strong understanding of product-market fit, fundraising, and startup growth. - Someone who will provide honest, strategic feedback; not just edit an application. Responsibilities - Evaluate SwypeSure Verify's business model, positioning, and overall strategy. - Review our current product and identify areas that need improvement. - Help refine our value proposition and investor narrative. - Review and improve our pitch deck and fundraising materials. - Identify traction milestones and KPIs that Techstars and investors expect to see. - Prepare us for accelerator interviews and mentor meetings. - Advise on customer validation, go-to-market strategy, and fundraising. - Serve as a strategic advisor as we continue building the company. Ideal Candidate - Has helped startups successfully gain admission into Techstars or similar accelerator programs. - Has experience with venture-backed startups, fundraising, and early-stage company building. Please Include your experience with Techstars or comparable accelerator programs as well. I'm looking for someone who can become a trusted advisor as we build SwypeSure Verify into a venture-backed company. If you've successfully helped founders navigate the accelerator ecosystem and would like to be part of an ambitious safety startup, I'd love to hear from you. I look forward to connecting. Best, Anthony Founder, SwypeSure
