TechStars Launches Ten New Startups In Seattle
- jdp23 16y agoThe startup scene in Seattle is a lot smaller than in the Valley, but the quality is pretty high. Combine the TechStars list with the First Look Forum finalists from last month (which also include some non-tech startups) and it's an interesting picture of where the action is here.
- kenjackson 16y agoI love the first comment in the story: "players hilariously give birth to a baby John Stamos, and then raise him over time" I have been waiting for this for a long time. I can't believe nobody has done this already.
- frankdenbow 16y agoYou forgot my "How Rude!" part, which is a throwback to the immortal Stephanie Tanner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70oaQR6tKE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70oaQR6tKE I am interested to see what Cabin Fever Toys ends up doing. Social entrepreneurship should be supported.
- kenjackson 16y agoHmmm... didn't get the reference originally. I didn't know who Stephanie Tanner was. It definitely ain't no, "What chou talkin bout Willis!". :-)
- fraXis 16y agoIt would be interesting to know if any of these were denied first by Y Combinator.
- kapitti 16y agoInteresting that TS would fund 2 companies basically doing the same thing: https://www.usingmiles.com/ https://www.usingmiles.com/ & https://gomiles.com/ https://gomiles.com/
- catch23 16y agoYC has a history of funding companies with nearly identical ideas too. I remember asking PG about it, and he says it's more about the founders than the idea since the idea is likely to evolve.
- qeorge 16y agoHighlighter.com looks pretty cool actually, and that's a great domain. The description they gave it is terrible though - its a new kind of commenting system for bloggers, not a way to collect things you find online.
- jaxn 16y agoI am excited to see what World Blender does with location-based gaming.
