Six companies; six weeks of intense competition; millions of dollars at stake. Airing tonight on Bloomberg Television (9pm ET/PT) is the premiere episode of "TechStars," which invites viewers inside one of the world's most elite tech incubators. Each week (same time same place), the 30-minute program documents the high stakes pressure, growing pains, and financial rewards of participating in the boot camp for startups.
Bloomberg TV’s mentors rank the participants, offer praise and no-holds-barred criticism on the founders’ ideas, products, and execution.
Mentors include:
- TechStars founder David Cohen
- TechStars New York managing director David Tisch
- Twitter CEO Dick Costolo
- AOL CEO Tim Armstrong
- Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley
Companies include:
- Immersive Labs
- Onswipe
- To Vie For
- Shelby (formerly HomeField)
- Veri (formerly SocratED)
- Nestio (formerly UrbanApt).
It's sure to promise drama that captures the long hours, tension-filled meetings, creative energy, and the breakthrough moments that characterize starting a company in an accelerated program.
The live hour-long finale is on October 18th.

I'm happy to see this incubator story appear -- excellent complement to your Bloomberg West which captures the essence of what's happening in the Valley.
