Founded in Boulder, Colo., in 2006, Techstars now claims to be the number-one startup accelerator in the world. With offices in six U.S. cities and London, Techstars runs three-month-long, mentor-driven accelerator programs.

Those who are interested in a spot, however, will have to compete with a large applicant pool. According to Katie Rae, the managing director of Techstars in Boston, for every ten slots available, Techstars gets more than 1,500 startup applicants.
