In an effort to sign up more companies for the Startup America Partnership growth kit, they launched a Master Challenge competition. You may have seen the TechStars team insulting each other throughout the twittersphere in their race to recruit startups. Brad Feld has made it his goal to beat out all of TechStars together:
“I’m now in a heated match for the number of startups [to sign up]– competing with David Cohen and the other TechStars Managing Directors (David Tisch, Katie Rae, Andy Sack, Nicole Glaros, and Jason Seats.) You wouldn’t want them to show me up, now would you.” – Brad Feld
