TechStars: Saving Friendships One Idea At A Time

I’ve been meaning to write a post about TechStars for a while now. I was reminded that now would be a good time as the new TechStars applications are being accepted (go here to apply: www.TechStars.org).

First off, you should apply. I look at it this way… most people don’t ever have a good, realistic business idea. Of those who do, a vast majority won’t do anything about it except complain their idea was “stolen” once that idea is implemented by someone else. A yet smaller percentage will actually do something about it but will quit at the first sign of adversity.

This is why we celebrate those people who actually make it… they are a minuscule minority.

So here’s the rub… apply to TechStars and get some feedback on your idea… it just might keep you from bothering your friends a year from now when someone ELSE is on the cover of Inc. magazine.
