If going through TS or 'having gone' through TS is supposed to improve the outcome of your startup (or ability to raise money/ get press), then yes. If investors/ press went to a disappointing demo day in TS-<insert city>, and they are invited to another demo day in your city, they may say, "Meh... dunno". If the quality is always top notch, no issue. If the culture of excellence scales outward, great. If you are going through to make great connections in your town & get great mentorship for your business for 3 months, great. But if you are attaching a brand that you intend to open doors/ get meetings/ etc, then the brand needs to stay consistently top notch. [I'm not saying TechStars is not consistently top notch, just saying culture (or maybe performance) across all programs matters]
