Part 4, Brad Feld: How does Techstars work? And advice for young entrepreneurs

This 6-minute video, part 4/4 of our interview with software-internet venture capitalist Brad Feld covers how the Techstars 90 day venture incubation program works. Techstars currently has programs running in Boulder, Boston, and Seattle.

We also asked Brad what advice he would give young entrepreneurs just getting started today and he came back with several specific, detailed suggestions.



Brad’s advice for young entrepreneurs:

  • Turn off the TV news and ignore bad economic news in the newspaper.  Great startups are created in both good times and bad.
  • Create a business around something you truly enjoy doing.
  • Make certain you like and enjoy working with your co-founders.

    I really enjoyed every interview with Brad. Knowledge from a seasoned serial entrepreneur is always inspiring and motivating. I especially enjoy the struggle stories because it's good to know that every successful company had battles to win and fires to put out on a daily basis. I agree that it's all about the people, find people you like, know, and trust and build something remarkable with them.

    Looking forward to your future interviews Steve.
