Our February Innovation Breakfast speaker was Shawn Broderick from TechStars.  Based in Boulder, TechStars came to Boston last year and Shawn has been a fixture in the Boston Innovation Economy scene ever since.  TechStars provides seed capital and mentors for a class of startups every summer. The TechStars decision makers look for companies they think they can help get off the ground and onto the next level.

For #InnoB4 (our February Innovation Breakfast), Shawn trekked out to Waltham and sat down for a good old conversation about TechStars, entrepreneurship and innovation.

One story Shawn shared led to his sharing the website StartUpVisa.com.  Evidently, more than one entrepreneur accepted into the TechStars program from overseas has had issues getting here.  Humph.
