MassChallenge, the Boston-founded startup accelerator, is launching a second U.S. program in Austin, Texas with plans to accept up to 100 startups into a 2018 accelerator there.

MassChallenge already operates accelerator programs in London, Israel, Switzerland and Mexico. But this is the first new program to launch under the watch of Scott Bailey, the former director of the Boston program who earlier this year took over as executive director for North America.
