In addition, startups are able to sign up for 20-minute individual meetings with Tyler Scriven, managing director of Techstars Atlanta, throughout the week using this office hour requests form.

Startups can sign up for the Lagos event here. The Techstars accelerator will run in Atlanta, and kicks off in mid-July 2017. The three-month intensive programme offers participants mentoring and guidance from entrepreneurs, F500 executives, subject matter experts, Cox employees, and the Techstars global network.
