Last month I had a chance to talk with the TechStars group in Colorado, and I was impressed with the teams. TechStars in an incubator that selected 10 teams to spend the summer in Boulder building their businesses in a big shared office space with occasional interruptions from mentors who dropped in and shared their [hopefully] sage advice. 

The central theme of my talk was that building a product in 3 months really comes down to focus.  Yesterday they accomplished what they’d set out to do, and all ten teams demo’d their products to a group of about 50 potential investors.

See coverage from Mike Arrington, Brad Feld, Don Dodge, and Anne Zelenka.  Anne’s summer-end wrap-up …

Most impressive presentation of the day goes to the Flatirons, which made an awesome backdrop to the CU Boulder campus where the conference was held. Not surprisingly, some of the TechStars are relocating to Boulder to enjoy more of Colorado’s natural beauty and business opportunities.

… confirms my initial thoughts about TechStars — the most enjoyable part for those guys had to be just spending the summer in Boulder.

Congrats to all the teams for making it to demo day.
