NEW YORK: Techstars, a pre-seed investor, released its second annual State of Innovation Survey today. The survey finds that despite persisting headwinds in private markets and a lack of confidence in the return of tech M&A and IPOs anytime soon, founders are still overwhelmingly optimistic about their startup’s prospects this year.
“It doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone that founders everywhere are feeling optimistic even when headlines are flashing red. The fact is, entrepreneurs are going to follow their dreams and change the world regardless of their environment,” said David Cohen, Founder and CEO of Techstars. “Still, the reality of today’s tighter VC market means that supporting entrepreneurs who have a burning desire to tackle the defining issues of our time - from climate change to human longevity and beyond - with capital, mentorship, and connections, is more important than ever to help them succeed.”
Based on an analysis of responses from 1,550 entrepreneurs and investors from across the globe, the State of Innovation Survey dives into how respondents view innovation in their sector, startup communities, and around the world.

The following outlines the key insights from the survey, demonstrating the trends that are shaping the early-stage innovation ecosystem:
