Come for the Ride…

I got a tip from Andrew Hyde, most recently famous for VC Wear - clothes for VC’s about another business competition that’s currently accepting applicants.

TechStars.org is a different kind of business competition that doesn’t focus as much on the prize money as much as education and networking. On the surface, the deal is:

- a summer in Boulder, CO
- 40 educational dinners/seminars
- $5,000 per founder (up to $15,000) in seed money
- a hip incubator work area

…in exchange for 5% of your company.

Below the surface, there are priceless networking opportunities and coaching that exists to help you succeed - all of which seem like a great deal if you can spend a summer in Colorado.

There’s only about 22 days left for 2008’s program if you’re interesting in applying for this opportunity. If your loved ones won’t mind you taking a 3 month journey to find yourself, this program is worth checking out.
