We’re honored and excited to announce that TechStars will be launching their inaugural class at our shiny new Union Square office this January.

We’re big believers in getting the smartest people you can into the same room, and the TechStars mentors certainly qualify. They’re a who’s who of the New York tech scene and beyond, not just names but people with incredible insight, who will clearly have a lot to share with their startups.

We can’t wait to see what develops in the new space, and think the cross-pollination of people and insights will be significant.
