Techstars was one of the most memorable (and rewarding) experiences of my life. It's great to hear this year's batch of companies are doing so well. Congrats to the 2009 teams!
should this automatically mean these are quality companies because they've gotten VC funding? i'm sure all of us can tell a story or two about their favorite VC funded burnout. why does this continue to be the barometer by which start-ups are judged?
Another star for TechStars in my book, I've been pretty impressed by their program and it continues to out do itself.<p>Cool to see the Vanilla forum guys on the list because I've used their forum software for quite some time. They had a big reputation in the design world when they launched around 05/06 for offering a comparable forum that wasn't obnoxious bloat like vB. Congrats on the persistence and hard work, looking forward to seeing you guys grow.
I don't think it's a barometer by which start-ups are judged. Instead, use it as a single data point for each company and 6 data points (for 2009 alone) for TechStars
