Techstars Silences Founders Who Dissent

Over the past week, I received multiple, suspicious outreach messages from someone claiming to be a former Techstars mentor, offering “insights” on the company.

After a little digging, I realized at least one of the profiles was fake. Name change, no real history, and a photo that looks AI-generated. Clearly, not someone I can trust.

This is a direct attempt by Techstars to silence me and distract from the truth. They don’t want me exposing the flaws in their system, so they're playing these shady games. It’s not just one person; it's a systemic issue.

Techstars has tried to reach out in multiple ways to control the narrative over the last week, whether it’s through backchannel negotiations or fake profiles, they want to shut me down.

I’m calling out Techstars for the lack of transparency, the games, and the manipulation. Founders deserve better. It’s time to expose the truth and stop letting these organizations get away with this behavior.
