Two Israeli companies are among the 10 new startups chosen for the third annual Techstars Atlanta class in 2018.
The local branch of international accelerator program has graduated 20 companies over two years since it was inaugurated in 2016, with firms hailing from Latvia, Nigeria, Canada and Israel, where leaders of the program have recruited heavily.
Both Israeli startups in this year’s class are based in Tel Aviv, a key target city for metro Atlanta technology business recruiters. Cemento helps construction companies and contractors manage their subcontractors, while Fixel helps marketers rank contacts based on engagement. Israel is the only foreign country represented in this year’s class, though a recruitment event was held in Lagos, Nigeria, in March.
As usual, Techstars has a healthy mix of local startups and participation from throughout the U.S., with six states represented overall. The 90-day program starts in August, focusing intensely on mentorship at the outset and then culminating in a “demo day” where companies pitch for funds.
