I love his definition of a startup: "startups are a temporary organization designed to search for a scalable and repeatable business model.". Solid, concrete advice in this book - advice you can disagree with, not just apple pie advice. Com

I think that's too harsh. The book has more "micro" errors than I'd like to see. By "micro" errors I mean some poorly drawn diagrams and some grammar errors that break my flow. I noticed that no editor is credited, and the book would be imp

They provide $6000 per founder for up to 3 founders. They get 6% equity stake in return (I'm not clear if they still get 6% if there's only one founder). See this page: http://www.techstars.org/details/ (BTW, I'm doing a startup in Boston
