That's a wrap on Techstars Boston Accelerator 2025.
Kestrel Labs came into the program with a clear thesis and a differentiated technical foundation. Over the past three months, that foundation translated into unmistakable market traction.
We now have paid design partners, strong demand from more than sixty firms and jurisdictions, and ecosystem partnerships with Autodesk and Trimble that position us inside the workflows of the entire industry.
This experience compressed years of progress into a single quarter. It strengthened the product, expanded our reach, and sharpened the path to scale. It also deepened our conviction in the size of the opportunity and in our ability to lead it.
Thank you to the Techstars Boston team — Jennifer Davis, Aidan Kittredge, Jacqueline Kwan, Steve Bernard (still counts, that's where your chair is), Ben Greene, Anuj Adhiya, Steve Walsh — and to our mentors Jay Batson, Michael Papish, Brad Harkavy, Dan Sirk, Ian Roughley, Javier Segovia, and Brian Farber (who later joined as our strategic communications consultant).
Thank you to the exceptional founders in our cohort, and most of all to my team — Brian Krzeminski and Austin Pulford (AIA, NCARB) — for the guidance, pressure, and candor that made this possible.
We're leaving Boston aligned, energized, grateful, and ready for what comes next.
What came next: new senior hires — including a Chief Industry Officer and a strategic communications consultant — and the spring conference season that follows. Earlier in the year, we had also renamed from ArchiCheck AI to Kestrel Labs.
