Twilio Startups is a program that helps startups accelerate their growth through access to resources such as seed funding, mentorship, and a global network of investors and talent. The program's CEO, David Brown, emphasizes the importance of finding product-market fit faster and being able to scale quickly. Accelerator programs like Techstars provide founders with an immersive learning environment that allows them to benefit from years worth of learning in just a few months. The program looks for indications of long-term success, not just immediate financial payoff, and places emphasis on the founders themselves and their team dynamics. Graduating from a Techstars accelerator program is not the end of the journey, as additional resources and programs are available to help founders at every stage.
