| | Liz Mead "Development shops earn their reputation pretty quickly in a market. Former Twilio Developer Evangelist Rob Spectre believes team quality is the biggest driver of that reputation. If you're wise about hiring, eventually all the excellent technical ability in your company will form a gravitational pull that makes recruiting less difficult. Engaging high-caliber talent early in the hiring process will accelerate the attraction." | | Juan Benet and Chris Dixon "Benet initially designed the peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol IPFS or "InterPlanetary File System" to help build a more robust, distributed, open web. But those ideas were around for a while — they just weren't implemented in a way that people could easily use. The same was true for early computing revolutions as well… until Apple came along and vertically integrated from research to production, bringing together different groups of people (design, hardware, etc.) to make something amazing that everyone could use, wanted to use." | | Elizabeth Lorns "What we kind of missing is the funding and the mentorship because it is a steep learning curve to navigate how you take a drug to market through all of the regulatory hurdles. If we can build a path that supports those people more effectively, that's going to be, I think the killer sort of application." | | Mandy Cole "Get retention down before you start scaling customer acquisition. You don't want to be losing them out the back door as quickly as you're getting them in the front door." | Open Position - Program Manager, Oslo 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.
