@Techstars is stopping their Boulder accelerator to focus on the larger metros. I shared my thoughts with the Colorado Sun ( and sharing here also: I did the Techstars NYC program in 2012 and then the Techstars Boulder program in 2019. Having done both, I can definitely attest that, as a founder, the talent and capital in NYC has a higher impact on a company at the earliest stages. Like any customer-centric company, Techstars is making the right move for founders here by focusing on these large metros, and I applaud them for making the hard, if unpopular choice! As a participant in the Colorado startup ecosystem, I'm not excited that the accelerator is exiting, but Techstars isn't going anywhere (50+ CO employees, new office in Denver, Boulder Startup Week sponsor, participating in CO Quantum Compute initiative, etc.). And while Techstars unquestionably helped accelerate the startup ecosystem in Denver/Boulder, this ecosystem has definitely achieved escape velocity. Personally, I live in CO, and travel regularly to spend time at Veho HQ in NYC, and am excited about building Veho and mentoring startups in both locations.

Crazy business idea: AWS, but when it goes down, all your stuff automatically fails over to a different availability zone instead of requiring an eng team to do a ton of work to build that resiliency themselves.

Silo spoiler alert: just realized it isn’t a coincidence that the Apple TV show is only a couple of episodes away from their big plot twist involving AR.

Contestants chat with the AIs for a few weeks and pick one to propose to. Then they meet in person and drama ensues.

Based on the number of “someday in the metaverse” ads I’m getting on Instagram, guessing Facebook has a ton of unclaimed ad inventory and is self-dealing to keep ad rates stable

Light and Magic on Disney+ is some great tech startup content. First few episodes focus on how the visual effects for Star Wars came together, but it’s all about building the team, solving open-ended problems on a shoestring budget, pushing forward through uncertainty.

This Carvana article. "Carvana’s operations consumed $593 million in cash during the first quarter, a huge sum for a company that reported cash and equivalents of $247 million at the end of Q1 2022." Which means they would have run out of cash.. today?
