TechStars Shine

Started by micah · 10 months ago

As I sit here in Seattle, in yet another hotel on yet another business trip, I have a few moments to reflect on the growth of the Techstars 2008 teams over the course of the summer.
Reflect? What happened to the good ol’ Micah snark?

    Thanks for the honest and helpful post. I've seen a lot of reporting on the Techstars demo day, but very little analysis on the teams themselves. This stuff is what really helps us grow. You've been an awesome mentor this summer and committed a lot of your time to helping all of us prep for the big night. We really appreciate your help! Kinda sad it's all over...or not.

    Micah -- Thanks for taking to time to write about the companies this year. I think it's a solid group that has potential to keep the TechStars brand alive and well. (And hopefully our companies, too!) It's been an incredible experience.

    Thanks for the analysis. It is great to have someone break it down a bit more than just stating the teams' goals. Thanks for the vote of confidence in our tech and nerd skills. We will have to work hard on filling some business gaps. As we get a bit further we will be looking to find ways to become as engaged with the developer community as we can, we will certainly seek your advice in this area.

    I appreciate the analysis Micah. While jokes are very important to us Ignighter folk, you're right, we don't want to actually be them. We're going to continue striving to maintain our focus and drive while hopefully continuing to enjoy ourselves along the way.

    Also, much of the success of the presentation should be attributed to you and your sage advice. Many thanks.

    Micah,


    Great recap, thanks for the analysis that goes deeper than just restating the concept of each company.
