You were maybe the best “intern” ever….
In Jan 2012, I left my consulting job to go work for Techstars NYC. Techstars was like “YC of New York” — but instead of batch dinners and partner office hours, they gave the companies full-time office space and brought in a cadre of well-known founders + investors as "mentors".
