HOLY CRONKY!

I am writing this as I am sooooo excited. With this being said, I am warning you this post my not make complete sense- but WE GOT INTO TECHSTARS FOR A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Story:
BumblePost applied to TechStars. Its a tech start up-incubator in Boulder. Basically, they accept 10 companies every summer (out of 500+ applicants), give you mentors from the summer from companies like Google, Facebook, AOL, etc. that help you day in and day out all summer to get your business off the ground, with the ultimate goal of getting you Venture Capital funding, acquired or sold off. 70% of the companies accepted to TechStars "make it" if you will. Is pretty much like getting into Harvard of the tech world.

Anyways, we applied early enough to get a chance to attend "TechStars for a Day". We thought that ALL the companies that made the early application date, got to attend. This means- we made special postgreets for TechStars to take and had made plans to attend. This Monday roles around- still no invite (TS4AD is this weekend). We start to do research and realize that only 40 companies get accepted to TechStars for a Day (TS4AD). Bummed... like, we were so bummed. Invites were supposed to go out last weekend, we didn't get one= not invited.

Monday night- the Managing Director of TechStars Boulder Tweets that they have had more applicants this year than ever so not all the invites had gone out because they were still looking at applications. Surge of hope goes through the BumblePost team. There is still a chance. Last night, I decided we were FOR SURE not invited because the event is this Saturday and most teams have to book flights- so they try to notify you as quick as possible if you are invited.

This morning, mentally, we had all moved on. I have been super productive all morning and didn't even think about it. Until we checked our email. Yep! WE FREAKING GOT INVITED!

I am literally on cloud nine, Adam may or may not have cried (I wasn't with him). And we are just pumped up like none other.

I am praising the Lord, even if we don't ultimately get accepted, this weekend will be a great learning experience and I can't wait to see who is there that we will get to meet and pick the brains of.

I will fill you in this weekend after the event. Say a prayer for us. They have to LOVE your idea and LOVE your team... even if both of these happen, the chances of getting in are LITERALLY 2%. We found out today, they had over 600 early applicants and only 40 are invited this weekend. Basically, we need to blow their minds with our amazingness... haha... but really.

Seriously, all prayers are needed. This could be HUGE.
