Meet the Techstars NYC 2015 Winter ClassThe latest group of New York startups has been chosen by Techstars. They are worth watching.

I LOVE mentoring young companies. Focusing on solving other companies' issues is very theraputic for me. It gives me a chance to get away from my own problems. I recently had the privilege of meeting the new Class of Techstars 2015. Some of the companies that graduate from programs like this will be the products and services that make our lives more awesome.
