TechStars TV Presents The Founders: S3E10 “No Surprises”
Dec 6, 2012
Curious what life is like inside of a startup accelerator? Look no further than The Founders, a documentary web series that follows Birdbox, ROXIMITY and Ubooly from TechStars Boulder (ranked the #2 startup accelerator in the US).
This week’s episode focuses on preparing for Demo Day. For the better part of three months, startups refine their products/services and pitches to be revealed in front of venture capitalists, angel investors, and press on Demo Day. Twelve weeks of hard work culminates in one day of execution, and to execute properly the teams rehearse every detail to leave no surprises.
This week’s episode features Mark Solon, co-founder and managing partner at Highway 12 Ventures and Jamie Cooper, CEO of Drake Cooper.
“We know that shit goes bad inside your companies. Don’t snow us, don’t hide bad news. Build trusting relationships.” – Mark Solon (Tweet This)
Skydiving, pranks, and crowdsurfing (not to be confused with crowdsourcing) all make cameos in this week’s episode as well.
You can catch up on all of the episodes for season three here.
