Ten startup companies are in Alabama and are more than halfway through a program that mixes workshops, mentorship, teambuilding and socializing.

The Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator, headquartered in Birmingham, is in its third year. Organizers are pleased with the outcomes from the first two classes and are expecting even more from the third.

“Our first two classes were amazing,” said Nate Schmidt, managing director of Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator. “We brought in 20 companies from all over the world and some companies here from the state of Alabama. Those companies have had a ton of success. We’ve seen them grow. We’ve seen them make hires. We’ve seen them raise a lot of money – over $150 million collectively as a group, which is a really big number, something we’re very proud of.
