What will a typical day be like for a TechStars founder?
It’s your company, so you’ll be hard at work on your product. You can choose to work out of The Bunker if you’d like, or you can work anywhere else that you might prefer. About two or three nights a week, we’ll organize informal educational sessions with our mentors. We also expect many of the mentors to drop in to TechStars at various times throughout the summer. In general though, you’ll be working on your product each day, just like all of the other founders in the program. We don’t tell you what to do or when, but we create an environment that is conducive to helping your startup every day. And we’ll make sure you have lots of experienced mentors around to help you. Watch this 5 minute video by Current TV to get a sense of what it’s like. You can get a feeling for how close the TechStars companies are with each other by watching this fun lip dub they made during the summer of 2008.
