We went through Techstars NYC with getstream.io. Alex Iskold the managing directors was awesome. He has a strong tech background, started a few companies and actually had experience with building feed technology from his last startup. (Stream is an API for building feeds and activity streams) So for us the experience was super relevant. Raising funding after the program was easy. Now, 2 years later, Alex still helps us out with anything we ask for. We're very happy, but I think to some extend it also depends on the managing director that runs your program.
One thing they could improve is support for founders that are moving to the US. In the beginning all the tax, visa and legal issues drove me a little bit crazy at times. Having 1 person on their team dedicated to helping foreign startups navigate those challenges would be very helpful.
