For those that don’t know GAN (Global Accelerator Network), they are in 6 continents, 59 cities, and have 50 accelerators and are powered by Techstars. GAN and some of it’s international founders are on tour visiting San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver/Boulder with 12 startups from around the world. They came by Techstars HQ early friday evening with ample libations for a Happy Hour and networking session with our 13 companies and founders. We went around and gave everyone an opportunity to give/practice their elevator pitch and get a little background on everyone before it was free for all networking. It was great to meet two guys from Wellington, New Zealand (where I studied abroad) and talked with them about the entrepreneurial ecosystem there. This is one of the many ways Techstars has tapped into an international community of awesome entrepreneurs and continues to build those quality relationships and partnerships.
