    techstarsSo folks, get ready for e27 eChelon!

    e27 is bringing you a premier startup event focusing on range of topics from angel investment to hot web technlogy trends.

    Exclusively for this event, the TechStars team in Colorado are coming down to Singapore. TechStars provides seed capital and mentorship support for startups and run a summer program for emerging startups and entrepreneurs where startups get seed money upto $18,000 and get a golden oppurtunity to interact with VC’s, industry leaders and mentors.

    David Cohen who is the founder and executive director of TechStars brings along with him a wealth of experience from setting up his own companies to helping other startups as an angel investor.  He enjoys helping the technological startups to succeed and move to the next stage.

    David is a founder of several software and web technology companies including Pinpoint Technologies (now ZOLL Data Systems) of Broomfield, Colorado. David was also the founder and CEO of earFeeder.com, which was sold to SonicSwap.com in 2006.

    Andrew Hyde who is the community manager at TechStars is the founder of Startup Weekend, Endoze Design and VC Wear (psst..try wearing one of their tees next time you pitch to an investor). He is an entrepreneur, avid community organizer and designer based in Boulder.

    Together with David and Andrew, we have our own local entrepreneurs Ming from SocialWok, Kal from iTwin, Dennis Goh from HungryGoWhere & Wong Meng Weng sharing their thoughts and insights on different aspects of entrepreneurship, funding and investment oppurtunities & technology landscape.
