This is a private event, by invitation only. PLEASE DO NOT TWEET THE URL! ;-) Last year was a big hit in Seattle, and the past TechStars founders that came said they wanted to have a get-together like this at least once a year. Well, it's that time again. And now there are 80 companies that will have been through the program by this point! Come to NYC for a founders-only unconference and another unconference with the awesome NYC mentors that you design with Brad Feld, Shawn Broderick, Nicole Glaros, Andy Sack, David Cohen, some of your other past mentors, and many awesome NYC area entrepreneurs and investors. You'll also have the chance to tell the local investment and mentor community all about your company. We'll be selecting a "home base" hotel in the city and trying to get a decent rate. For those that can arrive early enough on the 18th, we'll also be organizing a meetup that night at 8pm.  The event is open to current TechStars companies and past founders now doing other things. If you went through TechStars - you're invited. Please share this email with anyone other TechStars founders from your team that we might have lost touch with. Also, if there's a better address for you, please let us know. If you think you would like to come, it would help us with preliminary counts if you could register your attendees here now. Please grab a ticket for everyone that is in your company that will attend.  Thanks everyone - I look forward to seeing you in NYC in November, if not before!
