TechStars, the popular startup accelerator with locations in Boston, Boulder, New York, Seattle, London, and more, has today announced an expansion to Austin, Texas – a city TechStars founder and CEO David Cohen refers to as the “natural next stop for us” in this morning’s announcement about the new location. The program will launch its first program this August, and is accepting applications now. TechStars Austin will operateout ofCapital Factoryin downtown Austin, and will be managed byJason Seats, who sold his company Slicehost to Rackspace in 2008, making him VP of Engineering there. Seats has worked with the TechStars organization since 2011, serving as Managing Director of TechStars Cloud. He’ll now be relocating from San Antonio to Austin with his new position. Cohen also notes that Austin has been named the “number one boomtown” and best place for your startup by folks like Forbes and Bloomberg, and recently became the second city chosen to receive Google Fiber. It’s also already home to a number of growing startups, as you probably know. Austin’s Chamber of Commerce named 28 companies to its “A-List” showcase, its annual list which now includes startups likeSpredfast,MassRelevance,Sparefoot, andMapMyFitness(to cite those Cohen pointed out), as well as others likemyEDU,Uship,InfoChimps,Socialware,Emmoco, and many, many more. There’s also Indeed, HomeAway, Bazaarvoice, Spiceworks, and the 150+ others can pull up here in CrunchBase. As with TechStars’ other locations, TechStars Austin won’t focus on any particular vertical, but is generally just looking for disruptive Internetcompanies backed by strong teams. Mentors and investors involved in the new program include:Brett Hurt(Bazaarvoice),Tom BallandMike Dodd(Austin Ventures),Sam Decker(Mass Relevance),Jeff Dachis(Dachis Group),Kip McClanahanandMorgan Flager(Silverton),Josh BaerandBill Boebel(Capital Factory),Ned HillandAziz Gilani(Mercury Fund),Rony Kahan(Indeed),Rob Taylor(Black Locus)Lori Knowlton(HomeAway), and more. Austin’s scene is so hot right now that TechCrunch is even taking a roadtrip to that city this month(May 30th), kicking off theTechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off series, our 60-second pitch competition. First prize winners receive a table in Startup Alley at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2013, while second and third place winners will receive tickets. (Those event details are here.)
