High profile startup brand
Exposure to startup community
Trying to be international
Will need to get serious at some point about their infrastructure - so timing will be important.
Svantaggi
Cultish - work for love of the company.
Senior management needs investment
Trying to do things on a shoe string budget
Trading on Brand only gets so far
Highly exploitative culture. Very insular
Not international - though they think they are.
Risposta di Techstars

Thank you for your review. Our management team at Techstars should act in the best interest of the employees and the best interest of the founders. If your experience was contrary to this, then I’m glad you brought it up. We take constructive criticism seriously and always have room to improve.
Mission oriented company with an amazing vision and founding principles. Great colleagues in most cases and incredible opportunity to help founders who are really making a difference. A truly purpose-driven place when run well and with humanity and compassion.
Svantaggi
Leadership upheaval, leadership without any care or consideration about actual people or employees or the culture. A total ship hitting an iceberg with an environment turned game theory-meets-Nash Equilibrium-meets- game politics. You knew you were being bled out before you were to be dismissed at any moment.
