Meet the 13 New TechStars Boston Startups
Gregory T. Huang1/25/12Follow @gthuang
The cool thing about TechStars is that it is often surprising. The startup accelerator and seed-stage investment firm, which runs programs in four cities around the U.S., announced its newest class of Boston entrepreneurs (the fourth so far) last night. And while I’ve heard of a couple of the startups, most of them are brand new to me.
We’re looking forward to getting to know the teams as they evolve. Meantime, here’s a quick introduction to TechStars Boston’s lucky 13, with my interpretation of what each is doing (some names and approaches will probably change):
—Bison Alternatives (Web platform for raising alternative investments)
—Libboo (social/collaborative publishing)
—GymPact (mobile app for health/exercise)
—Psykosoft (creating art and music through software)
—Zagster (better bicycle rentals)
—Testive (adaptive educational testing)
—Simply Good Technologies (digital/mobile couponing)
—docTrackr (document tracking, metrics, and access control)
—Murfie (online music market)
—Mortar Data (Hadoop big data processing made easy)
—Ubersense (helping athletes through video analysis)
—Shopsy (social/personalized online shopping)
—Lessonsmith (collaborative lesson planning)
