Techstars is a NETWORK. For us (Boulder 2013) it was a window into a world we only saw through occasional blog posts. Techstars is a NETWORK of crazy people who risk everything to start companies. Some of those companies are absolutely amazing, and we have access to their founders, we know them personally. We never even dreamt of such honor.
Before Techstars, we had access to our desks.
For first-time founders, Techstars is truly an opportunity of a lifetime.
If you get accepted, do it. Don't listen to these fools.
