This week is a bit “unusual” around TechStars. Usually we try to keep things quiet most of the time for the founders to work on their companies, but once in a while we have a bit of a crazy week. This is one of those weeks.
Don Loeb is in town from FeedBurner (ok, damnit again, Google), meeting with individual teams and participating on our “Transparency: Blog or Die?” panel tonight, along with Brad Feld, Alex King, and Dave Taylor.
MyBlogLog (argh, Yahoo!) founders Eric Marcoullier and Todd Sampson are around this week to hang out with our teams and will participate in our sessions on Thursday, including the one that’s called “Funding your startup” and is open to the public. Other panelists for that event are Brad Feld, Gary Held, Chris Scoggins, Dan King, Kimbal Musk, and Lisa Rutherford. There are still a few seats left if you’d like to come.
Noah Kagan is also here this week. Noah was a product manager at Facebook and is obviously good at building strong online communities. He also coordinates the Community Next conference on viral marketing. Noah will be giving a special talk to the TechStars teams this week about their (hopefully, future) online communities.
Finally, we’ll end the week by having a special dinner with Jared Polis, founder of Blue Mountain Arts, Pro Flowers, and Confluence Commons, among zillions of other things. Jared will share his experiences in creating companies worth billions.
So it’s a special, but busy, week around here at TechStars. We’ll try to crank out the podcasts of these events as quickly as possible, so stay tuned.
Next week, we’ll give the TechStars teams a break and let them get back to more pressing matters, such as those you see below.
