Your Curating Team | Now Hiring! - Techstars Program Manager, Berlin  Along with the Managing Director, the Program Manager (“PM”) is tasked with the success of a particular Techstars program. This opportunity affords high visibility and responsibility as the PM works side by side with a prominent Managing Director, helping early stage companies through the Techstars mentorship driven accelerator model.
| | Benedict Evans "Machine learning is happening right now, and rolls through or perhaps underneath the entire tech industry as a new fundamental computer science capability - and of course enables both mixed reality and autonomous cars. Like, perhaps, relational databases or (in a smaller way) smartphone location, machine learning is a building block that will be part of everything, making many things better and enabling some new and surprising companies and products." | | Wade Foster "You see a lot more companies that are going at it for a long time with minimal funding or no funding at all. A lot of times these companies don't get talked about as much. The media isn't as drawn to those stories, so there's less visibility into companies that do it that way." | | Alex Krause "When companies make the decision to join an accelerator, they're certainly gaining a lot of important financial and network resources. But, they're also gaining a critical training on teaching their teams how to create good work habits." | | Ammon Bartram "Bootcamps versus CS degree I don't think are all that different. Now that's obviously a forceful statement. So I think experience matters more than where you got your education. So someone come fresh out of a CS program who doesn't have internships, is still essentially a junior engineer. And, perhaps, they may have a more academic slant to what they've studied, than someone out of a bootcamp. But both those people lack real world experience." | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
