Techstars Startup Digest was co-founded by Chris McCann and Brendan McManus. At the time of its acquisition by Startup Weekend on October 3, 2012, the newsletter reached more than 230,000 subscribers across 99 cities and 43 countries. That acquisition folded the newsletter service into Startup Weekend's operations, and Techstars Startup Digest subsequently became part of the broader Techstars family as a startup community program.
Techstars Startup Digest previously received $200,000 in funding from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, announced in March 2011. Today the program continues to operate as a personalized, locally curated newsletter connecting startup communities with events, reading material, and resources around the world. Its parent organization, Techstars, separately operates a dedicated Crypto and Blockchain vertical network.
