    TechStars: Boulder's not that far.

    Posted on DateWed, January 17, 2007 at 12:07 PM in , ,

    Boulder Colorado has a new startup program: Techstars 

    Techstars (ala Y-Combinator) is a invitation program where your startup team moves to Boulder for the summer, gets 5k per founder, and works your tail off. Evidently boulder has a thriving tech startup community where everyone runs around with their Macbook Pro and meets at Starbucks.(Damn that sounds fun. I'm going to have to talk to my wife and see if she'd let me go. She could just ride the horses all summer.)  I'm not really kidding either.

    The program functions along the line of Junto Partners but I actually think there's more upside for the entrepreneur and the team. Techstars is looking for a 5% stake. 

    Here's a video of the Techstar instigators making their pitch.
