We can add Launchbox Digital to the mix along with TechStars and Y Europe.

- mattmaroon 19y agoI wonder at what point angels/vcs will get tired of this sort of thing. I feel like each step down the ladder from Y Combinator becomes exponentially less valuable. I've often wondered if investors realize that in Tech Stars they're essentially getting Y Combinator rejects. Not only that, but Y Combinator rejects who don't mind living in BFE. Now this group will get Tech Stars rejects. Doesn't seem like something I'd attend, were I an angel.
