Ask HN: which angel programs are worthwhile besides YC and Techstars NYC?
10 comments
DreamIt Ventures already closed its NYC applications. I saw that Dreamit takes applications from hackers and business entrepreneurs and team them up. I'm not confident enough in my programming yet but I feel like I'm qualified for the business end, are there other programs like this where they create teams?
While DreamIt's summer NYC program is now closed (we've chosen our 15 companies), we will be opening up applications for our fall Philly program on May 9th and will be accepting applications for companies, hackers and strategists for that session as well. Full schedule for the Philadelphia program is here: http://www.dreamitventures.com/about/Schedules.php
If you're interested in applying to TechStars NYC email me: [email protected] . Happy to answer questions.
DreamIt Ventures started in Philly and is launching in NYC this Summer. They take applicants for both startups as well as hackers interested in being matched up with a startup (Somewhat like being a Techstars "Hackstar")
I hear good things about Techstars Boulder and not much enthusiasm for their other franchises
I'm a founder of a TechStars Boulder company from last summer and would be happy to answer any questions. In a nutshell, it was a great program and I'd do it again without hesitation.
How's Venture.io? I almost applied to them but decided that Y-Combinator would be better.
What about NYC seedstart, alphalabs, or betaspring? The latter two are part of the tech stars network, so I am curious what people think.
My team was in last year's Betaspring class. We had a blast, worked our asses off, and our company's doing well post-accelerator, thanks in no small part to the Betaspring partners, the mentors, and the other teams that went through the program with us. I recommend it highly.
Also, Providence doesn't suck like other cities. Just sayin'.
