Do More Faster India, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

Our heartfelt thanks to Amy Batchelor, Jil Cohen, and all of the spouses, family, and significant others who put up with the entrepreneurs in their lives.

Our thanks also go out to Ben Casnocha, a Techstars mentor since 2007. Ben made many wise suggestions for the first edition that we quickly heeded. And he did it from Chile, around the time of the major earthquake there in early 2010. We are grateful for him in many ways.

Our friends and amazing Techstars mentors Michael Zeisser and Paul Berberian both offered significant feedback about the structure of the book for the first edition. We think their input has made the book approachable and interesting, which is something that they both are as well.

We are also grateful to Amy Batchelor, David’s mother Ginger Cohen, and Brad’s mother Cecelia Feld for being such sticklers about the English language.

We also want to express our appreciation to David Brown and Governor Jared Polis for cofounding Techstars with us and for helping to shape what it has become.

We appreciate the tremendous support from Brad’s partners at Foundry Group: Jason Mendelson, Seth Levine, Ryan McIntyre, Chris Moody, and Lindel Eakman. While Brad and his partners get all the glory, without the hard work and behind-the-scenes support of a professional staff none of them could succeed over the long haul. Brad’s lucky to work with some of the best partners and staff in the business.

Thanks are also due to past Techstars interns Al Doan, Gregg ...
