Have a great weekend digesters! | What Techstars Gave Me  Sometimes the most brilliant things start with a simple idea. To nurture it, you need a network, people, culture and experienced entrepreneurs that empower you. It's about becoming a part of something that is bigger than yourself, finding validation in your company and your team, and giving back. Over the past 10 years, Techstars has helped entrepreneurs succeed, working with founders around the world starting great companies.

| | Eric Blondeel and Moufeed Kaddoura "By constantly seeking feedback from our employees, treating them as if they were our customers and iterating our practices accordingly, we are able to build a dynamic culture, beyond establishing core values, without consciously setting out to do so." | | Adam Berlinsky-Schine "Setting aside some engineers' creative work hours, there are lots and lots of other things that get in the way of pure productive bliss. Some may be looked down upon — admit it: you check Facebook and your personal email occasionally during work hours too — but some are just part of the job. Meetings, work email, interviews, Slack, etc. are all things you want them to be doing; or, at least, the work culture your company has defined demands it." | | Cerina Bezuidenhout "Ensure you attract and retain the majority of high performers, and be cognizant of creating the environment where these individuals want to be. Make sure your team and culture is energized, disciplined and goal and task-orientated." | | Tomas Barreto "Encourage your directs to pretend they're in your role. With my team, I ask them to go through the thought exercise of what they'd do differently — whether that's giving feedback or project prioritization." | |
