This Meetup repeats on the 1st Tuesday of every month.

August is techstars month

The secret group of tech startups building cool stuff at the bunker on walnut could use your help refining their investor pitch. Tuesday August 3rd and Wednesday August 4th is your chance to see what they have been building and ask the tough questions before they get on stage and pitch to the VC's.

Sign up early, this event has sold out very quickly over the past 3 years. Space is limited to 300 people per night and please no double dipping until everyone has had a chance to sign up.

    Audrey, my guess is that less than 10% of people, on average, go out for a drink with a group of people afterward, but it does happen!

Who attended?

  • 375 attendees
    • “ Well organized and stuck close to schedule. ”
    • “ Enjoyed all the presentations ”
    • “ Great TechStars night! Unfortunately I got booted to the overflow room. NOTE: IF you are in the overflow room tonight. There is a Volume control on the AV system. Be a hero - TURN UP THE VOLUME SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR!!! ”
    • “ Was in room 205. Although cooler temperature wise, it was not possible to hear anything the audience said (i.e. questions), therefor I was unable to enjoy the humor, liveliness and interactions of the audience, which is a big part of what makes these meetup's great. Maybe some sort of room mic may help with this situation. ”
    • “ Encouraging and discouraging at the same time. When you are tired of the "bird in the hand", those "in the bush" look more fun. ”
    • “ Very interesting material, but it was too hot. Air conditioner was broken. ”
    • “ The presentations were excellent. ”
    • “ HVAC problems, but tolerable. Organization terrific. Presentations were very good, but answers to questions tended to the weak side, e.g., "Q: How is this defensible? A: no one else is doing it yet; we spent many man-months on it." ”
    • “ As usual, great, energetic meeting! A/C would have been nice!! ”
    • “ Absolutely fascinating line-up of speakers, and every one was clearly on to something smart. No question that the pitches were great, and companies were extremely well prepared. Enjoyed the humor too - "doc in a box" will stay with me, so extra kudos to RoundPegg! ”
    • “ All the TechStars presenters rocked it! Thank you to Robert Rich, Brad Bernthal, David Cohen, Brad Feld and the entire crew of TechStars teams. ”
    • “ excellent technologies, articulate presenters, exciting possibilities ”
    • “ Love seeing the newest TechStars grads present their products. The energy and the passion behind these startups is why I came to Boulder. ”
    • “ Great presentations! ”
    • “ Great meeting and great energy...presenters demonstrated innovative new product ideas and enthusiasm in presenting. ”
    • “ I did not receive notification that I had moved from the wait list to RSVP'd until late in the day on the date of the event. As such, I was unable to attend. ”
    • “ Personally, its hard to choose between Omniar, RentMonitor, and Scriptpad. Those three were definitely my favorite ”
    • “ Great startups, good presentations. ”
    • “ It would be 5 STARS except for the AC. Well done once again. ”
