This week, the group had Todd Vernon from Lijit come lead the discussion. Although Todd is currently CEO of Lijit, he was CTO at his former company, Raindance.

TechStars has been an amazing group to be a part of. We have frequently been asked about the program and “what is the best part of the TechStars program?” It is really hard to break it down to any single point, but all the benefits come back to being all about the people.
We have received [...]
Update: Changed Project to Product, I didn’t realize the differences. Niel pointed out that they aren’t the same in another thread.
Niel sent the actually Power Point which you can check out for yourself, product-management-v1.

Amazon Day
Mike Culver (Amazon AWS)
Mike did a great job presenting all of the various AWS offerings. The TechStars teams asked a ton of questions. It seemed after the presentation at least 4 of the teams were thinking about using some part of AWS. We [...]
The first couple weeks, of TechStars has been flying by in a blur. The first weeks were filled with many meetings, introductions, contacts, and informal group meet-ups. I am pretty sure during the first two weeks each team gave their elevator pitch 45+ times, giving us all chances to refine our pitches. During these first [...]
