The application deadline for TechStars 2008 is tomorrow. That’s Monday, March 31 at 11:59:59pm Mountain Daylight Time. Last year we had a team that submitted two minutes after the deadline.

Many of the businesses that submit applications to TechStars have no clue how they’ll ultimately make money. In the age of free web services, many generically cite “advertising” as the revenue model.

We’re excited that W3W3 has become a sponsor of TechStars this year and will help us get more audio and video action onto the web this summer. Here’s their fresh interview with Brad Feld, one of the partners at TechStars.

I’ve also read some chatter out on the web about how TechStars companies are required to work out of the Bunker. Since this is false, I figured I’d address it Read more…

Last week was TechStars For A Day, and about 100 founders from 50 or so companies who have applied to TechStars showed up. We had a great time getting to know each other. Lots of folks made an impression that day. Some good, some bad, as you would expect. The event came and went, followed Read more…

SIGH Any ideas how I could find a really good tech guy, preferably with some cache??? While not every business Read more…

Thanks to everyone who came out to TechStars For A Day on March 5th. We had a great time with more than 100 applicants present, and we hope you did too!
