Miami-based startup Clutch Prep has been accepted into Techstars Chicago for the summer accelerator program.
Clutch Prep, started by FIU undergrads at the time, is an online tutoring program that helps college students simplify their studying. The program equips students with in-depth, textbook-specific videos and practice materials to help students better understand the material and improve their grades, says CEO Marcio Souza.
Clutch Prep and nine other companies will set up shop at 1871, a co-working space in Chicago, and over the next three months work on honing their businesses with the help of Techstars mentors. The program ends with Demo Day at the House of Blues Aug. 27.
South Florida startup 71 Lbs was also a graduate of Techstars Chicago (then called Excelerate Labs).
