Pros

I really enjoyed actively participating in the numerous workshops and really getting to know each of the TechStars companies. I was able to find my niche and work fast and freely.

Cons

A little disorganized at times but I believe this form of organization has to. Maybe could use a little more focus on some of the hackstar a and associates.
