TechStars on TV – unreal. I am cautiously optimistic and hope that the cameras do justice to the great folks involved here.

Great video of David explaining what TechStars is and isn’t. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing my small part as a mentor, and helping a few of the startups each year in that capacity.
David has excellent wardrobe taste as well, as evidenced by his Crowd Favorite t-shirt. 😉
Of last year’s winners 8 of the 10 companies are now angel or venture backed, are profitable, and/or have had acquisition offers.
I had a great time as a mentor to the 2007 TechStars teams and I’m excited to help out again in 2008. David‘s got a great thing going here, the value of this kind of experience is hard to describe accurately.
I spent today in Boulder meeting with several of the TechStars groups. As a mentor I’m basically a resource they can bounce ideas off, get feedback from and use to network. I hope I was successful in providing this to the groups I met with today. I look forward to seeing their progress next time…

Nice coverage of TechStars on TechCrunch. Digg it here.

Maybe. It’s really your decision. Techstars Boulder’s deadline is 3/16/12. Get on it.
But, if you get in, and decide to do it, then do it 120%. Work harder than everyone else. Push yourself and your team. Become great. Don’t be one of the forgotten companies.
Great post from Micah. As a mentor since 2007 I’ve been amazed at the value that TechStars provides – I highly recommend looking into it closely if you’re at all curious or interested.
