More than 500 startups from around the world applied to be part of MassChallenge Texas’ inaugural Austin class.
Of those, 280 were invited to pitch their ideas before a panel of experts. Today, the Boston-based accelerator is unveiling the 84 companies that made the final cut.
The list includes startups from five continents, 11 countries and 12 states. A total of 45 companies are from Texas and 33 are Austin-based.
The startups will take part in a four-month program that includes access to mentors and investors, training and networking events and free coworking space at WeWork locations across Austin.
