New accelerator launches in Europe offering Valley road trip
Accelerators, Accelerator, Accelerators! There's a rash of them appearing everywhere, and the latest is the Rockstart Accelerator, a new startup program aimed at Europe's most promising startups that want to hit a global scale (but then don't they all?). However, this one has some credible partners in the shape of Google, Microsoft BizSpark, Mozilla WebFWD and StartupHouse in San Francisco.
Oscar Kneppers, founder of Rockstart says the program is for startups from the whole of Europe. Based in Amsterdam, it's looking for 10 teams of founders and will subject them to 99 mentors for 100 days, and combine that with an additional three-month summer program that culminates with a 25-day Silicon Valley road trip. That last point is probably not a bad idea, for obvious reasons, though Seedcamp takes its teams for four weeks and has done it for the past three years.
Teams will stay a the Startup House in San Francisco as a base and will vist Google headquarters in Mountain View for a few days, meeting the Google developer team and meeting Don Dodge, Developer Advocate at Google. The usual Microsoft BizSpark sweeteners are being offered and the Mozilla WebFWD people will be offering one-on-one mentoring with "Mozillians".
Seed investment in the startups includes up to $20,000, six-months of free office space, and a three-week road trip to Silicon Valley. Rockstart Accelerator asks eight percent equity in the startups that are selected. It starts on March 22, 2012 and is now open for applications and closes today.
How does this compare with the some of Europe's leading accelerators?
Well GammaRebels in Poland offers a predefined equity investment of up to €12,000 (PLN20,000) in exchange for 10% equity, mentoring support and office space during the program.
This is a low stake and a high percentage compared to Springboard in the UK and Seedcamp, but then the costs (staff, offices, living) in Poland are much, much lower.
With Springboard each team gets a low £15,000 of investment capital and they take 6% in ordinary founder shares. Office space etc is free.
The well known Seedcamp meanwhile puts in around €50,000 (Euros) per team and takes a variable stake of around 8%-10% of its startups.
A brand new UK one, Ignite100 in the UK, puts in up to £100,000 per team and takes a set 8%.
HackFwd takes 27% of a company it invests in, but funding amounts to up to €191,000 (depending on the size of the team) and the programme runs for a whole year.
In the US, Ycombinator takes around 6% but can do anywhere from 2%-10% while TechStars take around 6-10%.
StartupBootcamp has 3-month programs in various European locations and caters to startups which are much earlier than the Seedcamp stage (seedcamp takes startups which already have an initial product). Teams have access to office space and other resources in each of their country locations. SBC takes 8% of the company and gives 12,000 Euro and free office space upfront. They tend to do follow-up investments of around 40-50K€ (although Magma was 250K€). Rainmaking (a Danish company and type of "startup factory") created Startupbootcamp and put Alex Farcet in charge of the initial program in 2010. Since then, Bandwidth (Dublin) and Okuri Ventures (Spain) have come on board and are run by Eoghan Jennings and Luis Rivera respectively.
There is also LeCamping in Paris, a 6 month program created by the non-profit organization, Silicon Sentier. It funds 12 startups, has a network of mentors, provides free workspace and offers €4,500 per team without taking equity. Large companies such as Google, SNCF, BNP Paribas, L'Atelier and GL Events are sponsors and supporters in conjunction with public sector bodies like the European Social Funds and the Regional Concil of Île-de-France. Seven of its startups have now raised between €150K and €700K each.
Commenting on the Rockstart launch, Reshma Sohoni of Seedcamp said: "Seedcamp at the core has always believed the US is important to the startup story so US mentors visiting Europe and in US have been a big part of our mentor base. So a new accelerator promoting that isn't something new I guess."
Jon Bradford of Springboard said: "Im very comfortable about new acceleraotrs coming on strem, as there is absolutely no lack of talent in Europe. In fact, the appearance of new accelerators appears to be increasing the number of startups over-all as more people join startups."

Apply to the Boulder Program: Deadline is March 22, 2010.
TechStars is a mentorship-driven seed stage investment program. They run a three month long program in Boston (MA), Boulder (CO), and Seattle (WA) once each year. Applications for the Boulder program is currently open for submission. They’re very selective – hundreds of companies apply and they only take about ten companies per city. These companies get up to $18,000 in seed funding, $6,000 per founder up to 3 founders. Each program involves three months of intensive top-notch mentoring and the chance to pitch to angel investors and venture capitalists at the end of the program.
As Brad Feld puts it, “While the seed funding is nice, the real value is the advice, mentoring, and connections provided by TechStars.” They have a very laid back and friendly atmosphere, working hard late into the nights while preparing for early morning meetings. 39 companies have received investment since 2007. Getting into the program is hard and it means something special but you can’t find out if your startup is among the best unless you apply.
[About this Shoot: I worked with Andrew Hyde, one of the original founders, on this days booking for TechStars. While we originally wanted to do a group portrait of the TechStars crew here in Boulder, the logistics of rounding everyone up considering the recent launch of the application process proved to be too difficult.
My solution was this. I pulled photos of all the Boulder Mentors that advise all the startups throughout the program. I cropped, retouched, and created a contact sheet. After printing the contact sheet out including thumbnails of all the mentors, I took some foam board and cut out the TechStars logo from it. I then overlayed the the foam board on top of the contact sheet so the thumbnails of the mentors showed through. I photographed the result and retouched again to present the final piece you see here.]

Today 13 incredible companies will take the stage at the Boulder Theater to celebrate the culmination of their Techstars experience. Demo Day in many ways is the distillation of all the lessons, laughs, struggles and accomplishments that have been jam-packed into these past thirteen weeks, and we couldn’t be more excited for this cohort of entrepreneurs and what they’ve accomplished in such little time.
Under rapid-fire, marketing plans have been created and executed, videos have been produced, logos and branding have been refined, pitches have been reiterated at least a thousand fold, and that just scratches the surface. These growing pains, though familiar, are usually par for the course. The real magic has been in just how cohesive and generous this class has been in helping each other not just succeed, but thrive.
This year’s Boulder Techstars cohort, however, is remarkable in many ways. 10 of the 13 companies are comprised of serial entrepreneurs, meaning this isn’t their first rodeo, and perhaps that’s most telling by the fact that 9 of 13 are already generating revenue.
Beyond these benchmarks, these companies are tackling big issues, ones that touch almost every aspect of our daily lives: they’re helping communities save missing children; they’re creating new markets for renewable energy; they’re reimagining how we manage our credit; and they’re rethinking how technology can be a pathway for more authentic connection.
Please join us in celebrating the Techstars Boulder class of 2014.

Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries around the world in 2011.
The non-profit organization is headquartered in Seattle, Washington but Startup Weekend organizers and facilitators can be found in over 200 cities around the world. From Mongolia to South Africa to London to Brazil, people around the globe are coming together for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, register now for the best weekend of your life!
Bringing the students and the community together!

If it’s New + Cool, you better believe Andrew’s somehow involved in it. He’s a self proclaimed startup enthusiast who’s got his hands on so many projects that I’m not sure when he sleeps. (I assume the coffee helps with that)
He’s the Community Director for TechStars, the finest startup accelerator around. TechStars is a mentorship-driven seed stage investment program operating once a year in Boulder, Boston, and Seattle. Got a game changing cutting edge startup idea? Check out the details over at techstars.org and Apply for your chance at incubation.
You can find Andrew blogging about all the projects he’s involved with, the in’s and out’s of living in Boulder, and his travels abroad at his personal spot andrewhy.de
He founded Startup Weekend, a 54 hour startup event that provides networking, resources, and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. He also launched VCwear, a t-shirt company that aims to bring humor to the givings, or lack thereof, of Venture Capital and startup pitches. Go grab a couple now!
An upcoming event that Andrew helped organize is the eighth installment of Ignite Boulder. A night of presentations with a twist, Ignite Boulder provides a stage for speakers to present on a subject of their choice. Each speaker has exactly five minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire—backed by twenty slides auto-advancing every fifteen seconds. Tickets for this event on Feb. 10, 2010 go on sale TODAY! Grab a few while they last. This event is sure to sell out quick.
I met Andrew at Trident Bookstore + Cafe for this shoot. We decided to do a fun, tacky, portrait style piece; and after playing for a bit in the snow and wood pile out back of Trident, I think we pulled it off. Super excited for the opportunity to meet him and learn more about all his involvements. Keep your eye on this one.

If that cab keeps out the heat and bugs it must be a lot more comfortable than old tractors. The driver probably has a good radio in there too, and of course a cell phone. I seldom see this tractor parked; it seems often to be used for mowing the grass on the greenway, which must be growing a lot now with all the rain here this summer.
This model is a Techstar MT585D, which you can actually make out in the top photo. If you want to know about such amazing machines, look at this detailed, illustrated 86 page MT500D Series High Horsepower Tractors Pocket Guide:
