What Techstars Means for LendAPI
For the past several months, we’ve been collaborating with the Techstars team in preparation for this moment. Through their mentorship and resources, we’ve already seen significant growth, even before the official start of the program. Now that we’ve kicked off in New York City, we’re looking forward to evolving even further with the help of Techstars' programming content and workshops. Over the next 16 weeks, we’ll continue honing our strategy, refining our product, and preparing to scale as a company that is both scalable and investable. — Timothy Li, CEO of LendAPI
