About

Maëlle Gavet brings an unusual combination of experiences as a founder who built her first company at 16, a CEO who scaled Russia's largest e-commerce company, and a global executive at public companies before leading Techstars. She runs Techstars like an "actively managed index of early-stage innovation," using detailed data tracking to systematically find and support high-potential founders who lack traditional access to capital, especially in emerging markets outside the U.S. and Europe.
