I went through TechStars in 09. It was the single greatest accelerator for my company. We benefited from incredible mentorship and attention from the web's best and brightest. We would not be where we are today without TechStars. We chose TechStars over YC because of the focus on mentorship. Both programs are fantastic and both will help you develop but do your research on the strengths of each so you know which will work best for you. I encourage you to reach out to any of the TechStars founders and ask about their experiences first hand. All are happy and excited to share their experiences. You should do the same for YC. The bottom line. Get into one of the two and kick a$$. Apply to both, do some research so you know what to expect and then make the decision.
