The 10 TechStars companies have been selected but not yet announced. We won't announce them until they've been in the program for a couple weeks and have had a chance to improve their first impressions. In other words, we want to give the companies a chance to work on their pitch and to work on their web sites before making lots of noise about them.
Next week, we have the first mentor only dinner and we move into our new offices in South Lake Union. I hate moving and I especially hate moving offices. But in a weird way, I'm really excited about this move. The new office is super sweet and has a speakeasy in the basement -- no kidding -- it was the syncher on the negotiations.
The TechStars program officially starts Aug 16! Not far off. I write another update in August.
