The Atlanta-based team behind Techstars Impact Powered by Cox Enterprises had their work cut out for them this year since they had to go through 1,000 applications for its 2024 cohort.
Out of those 1,000 applications, nine were accepted. The cohort is made up of startups across multiple industries and verticals, from DEI to women’s health to educational access. Two out of the nine startups are already located in Atlanta, while the others will be coming into town from across the country to participate in the 2024 cohort.
