If I could give my equity back to Techstars, I would. I got scared into not giving it back in the timeframe they give us to make a decision. There has been very little support for the company post program.

<p>What didn't they deliver that you were expecting for the equity? You got money, correct?</p>

What "support" are you looking for? You have the Techstars stamp approval. Use it, get out there, and hustle!

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
