Ateios Systems (Techstars 2019), a company rethinking battery electrode manufacturing, has raised $7.25M in Series A. Founded by Dr. Rajan Kumar, Ateios is tackling traditional electrode production, which relies on slow, chemical-heavy processes. “Manufacturing breakthroughs are what make transformative technologies ubiquitous. If chips are the brains of the modern machines, batteries are the heart. Ateios is helping the industry build them better, faster, and cleaner.” - Dr. Rajan Kumar, Founder and CEO of Ateios Systems In September, the team demonstrated a solvent-free approach reaching 80 meters per minute, nearly three times the industry standard, while producing PFAS-free electrodes compatible with lithium-ion chemistries. With this funding, Ateios is focused on expanding commercial partnerships and meeting growing demand for its RaiCore™ electrodes. http://tsta.rs/Anvr50YBvnr

We are excited to announce a strategic partnership with the University of Colorado Boulder to expand opportunities for founders and strengthen Colorado’s innovation economy.

We are thrilled to introduce the Techstars Founder Catalyst Global Spring 2026 class! This 30-founder class is drawn from six partner communities across three continents, each one a testament to where entrepreneurship is quietly thriving. The founders who earned their place in this cohort represent what happens when the right people, in the right environments, decide to stop waiting. From AI governance infrastructure being built in Istanbul to aerospace decentralization emerging from Sarajevo; from fintech bridging an $11.8B credit gap in Uzbekistan to psychedelic-assisted mental health infrastructure advancing out of Belfast; from agricultural precision technology scaling from the American heartland to elite sports intelligence backed by Olympic champions, the cohort is as geographically distinct as it is thematically coherent. 🔗 Get to know the class at http://tsta.rs/sgSy50YBrGJ Techstars Sarajevo, Startup Community Partnership | Techstars Omaha, a Startup Community Partnership | Techstars Uzbekistan, a Startup Community Partnership | Techstars Istanbul, a Startup Community Partnership | Techstars Belfast, a Startup Community Partnership | NatWest | Techstars Founder Catalyst

Fundraising is not a single event. It’s a pipeline. And the biggest reason founders struggle with fundraising is simple: they don’t have consistent deal flow. Steve Walsh shares the move: stop trying to build the perfect list of 300 investors. Instead, build the next 20. http://tsta.rs/rzy150YzqW0

Muhammad Hunain, founder of Melagen Labs (Techstars 2024), set out to bring high-performance compute to space. After Techstars, he and his team focused on the International Space Station, where every watt, every processor, and every second counts. They built, tested, and refined a solution for one of the harshest computing environments imaginable. Most startups design for Earth. Melagen started in orbit. Because solving under extreme constraints changes how we build everywhere else. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ewVGJgS9 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/ek-4_vTD Adam H. Phillips

In an industry where multi-million-dollar decisions hinge on how fluids behave underground, better data isn’t optional, it’s critical. That’s why Tom de Haas built Interface Fluidics. Interface Fluidics (Techstars 2018) is transforming how energy companies understand what’s happening underground using microfluidic technology to deliver faster, more accurate insights into fluid behavior. Tom shares his journey from academic research to global commercialization, the challenge of introducing deep tech into a traditional industry, and how precision science can help reduce environmental risk in energy projects in his conversation with Emilie Vallauri on the blog. https://lnkd.in/gzUXg_R4
