TechStars: The next great incubator unleashes 11 startups in NYC
Summary
This past Thursday at New York City’s Webster Hall, TechStars’ inaugural NYC class held its first Demo Day to an audience of 750 investors, mentors, press and startup community. Additionally, the platform agnostic startup relies on ad networks such as AdMob and Where to push out discounts to users, who then have a limited time to redeem their offers. OnSwipe founders Jason L. Baptiste and Andres Barreto stole my heart back in January when they first gave TNW a sneak peak of their awesome product. Using an innovative auction-type model to discover what every person will pay, ToVieFor wants to disrupt online fashion with a destination site that is really bringing realtime supply and demand to market. According to Tisch, 6 companies immediately raised money following Demo Day, which was capped off with a party sponsored by AOL Ventures in NYC’s Union Square.
