TechStars in Boulder kicked off on Monday, which feels very appropriate given today marks the opening of Boulder Startup Week. It was a great day, including a visit by our own Congressman Jared Polis and TechStars CEO David Cohen. The teams blew off some steam with a very lively game of rock-paper-scissors, we learned about how to engage great mentors, we learned how to navigate the insanity that is TechStars, and we learned about each other.
Learning about each other is no small task. There are over 40 founders here, including 3 HackStars, 3 Summer Associates, and 2 Mentors In Residence. The teams were so excited to meet and I’m just as excited for you to meet them. After going through over 1,200 applications, it was gutwrenchingly difficult to narrow it down to these 12 teams. But I’m thrilled to introduce you to the teams now, and if you want to meet them in person, (and are in the Boulder area this week), come by on Friday to say hi!
So without further ado – please meet this year’s fantastic teams below and follow them as a list on Twitter here! Our hashtag for this program is #techstarsboulder.
