So, it’s finally starting to seem real that TechStars is over.

It was an amazing summer, with so many great people to work beside and learn from. The mentors and sponsors involved with the program are impressive, and many of them spend time and effort to help us understand specific issues and/or to coach us and provide guidance on our path. In addition, Boulder has a large tech community that is just amazing–so many great people, starting with David and Brad and David B and Jared and going on from there,

So many of the other TechStars 08 teams were inspiring–people I hope we see again–and who I know we will hear from. Shout outs to Devver, Occipital, Gyminee, App-X, TravelFli, Ignighter, Foodzie, BuyPlayWin, and Sam and Co at The Highway Girl. Meeting and talking with folks from last years’ teams also helped alot–Ari from Filtrbox, Rob and Josh from EventVue, and the Brian DeWitt with Socialthing had words of wisdom to share that helped us.

Finally, we want to thank some of the mentors–both in Boulder and outside–that provided guidance, and sometimes, a calming influence….thanks again and always to David Cohen, David Brown, Lisa Rutherford, Sue Kunz, Lisa Stone, Howard Lindzon and Andrew Currie.

And our homegirls Amy Gahran, Meg Spohn and Jemma Sundragon for friendship, love and chances to hang out.

Kudos to everyone who made this summer @TechStars such a powerful experience. I can’t wait to see my fellow TSers in real life, and I feel privileged to have gotten such great learning and support.

And if anyone wondered about it, Andrew Hyde is the world’s coolest and nicest community manager. And David Cohen is the bomb.
