The luxury of TechStars Boston is a well-kept secret. Our Cambridge location the top floor of a historic Central Square building (actually, it is historic...used to be the power company, back when electricity was invented.)
You enter though this door at 727 Mass Ave. The space used to be for the Kaplan people who run classes for cramming for things like SAT tests. How fitting that their space is being reused for people cramming for a big show just three months away.
To enter the hallowed halls of TechStars, you must know the code. If you are accepted for this year, you will, in fact, know this code. But wait, there's more.
Your penthouse accommodations have rooftop views. Gourmet food is nearby, as are many coffee houses and pizza places.
Modern conveniences include a spacious elevator that can comfortably fit two people if they eat lightly and are willing to get to know each other during the ride.
Last year's version of Shawn Broderick. (Taken before TechStars moved in.) Shawn has been upgraded for this year, with a new look, shorter hair, an occasional beard. He seems more relaxed, but I'm sure once things get going, we'll see that hair on fire look again.
As Shawn pointed out, the carpet came pre-stained. Perfect for an entrepreneurial hang out.
TechStars provides access to the latest technology.
Rooms really are big, and they have really high ceilings. Two or three companies share what used to be a classroom. They do learn from each other!
Are you ready to hang up your coats on these walls? You start in March when the weather is cold and forbidding. When you take the coat off the wall in June, you'll be basking in the warmth of new knowledge, new mentors, new friends, a great new pitch, a product well along, and a company on the rise.
