Ready for answers

We are on the brink of being able to make some actual plans for this summer (aka: finding out if we make TechStars). Its really weird because its such a HUGE thing, that this decision will define the rest of our lives. Its a strange feeling to say the least and I am REALLY anxious to make some plans.... we have been in the weird void the past few months. So I am going to map out a few different options for you:



A: We get into TechStars (ideal option!). We find a house to rent for the summer in Boulder for 5 people (me, Adam, Nick, Eric-our developer, and Maddie if she comes). Adam and I have to scramble for the next few weeks to move out of this place and into our new place- head to Mexico for Court's wedding- and the programs starts Tuesday May 10th. We work all summer in Boulder, meet great people, great mentors and decide we want to stay and headquarter BumblePost out of Boulder.... maybe we get some funding too (which would be great) so we can all work on BumblePost full time. This plan would get us through to the beginning of August. PS- this option would require all of us to quit our jobs (yay!!). But thats OK, because TechStars gives us money. Not a lot of money, but enough to live on and have some left over without cutting into our savings...



B: We don't get into TechStars. I take a few days to get over it and tell myself it was such a slim chance anyways- we made it to finals and that was awesome, but it still sucks to not make it. Adam and I decide we are going to stay in Denver. I start looking for a new job ASAP or switch positions in ATS (I hate my current role). We continue to work on BumblePost at night/weekends. We go live and just see what happens. Our current lease is up June 30th and depending on our funds, might look to buy a house.


C: We don't get into TechStars, but we decide that Boulder is still the place for us since it is the tech-hub of the Midwest (mini-San Francisco). We decide to move there anyways- get connected in the community, find our own mentors, etc. Its super expensive, so this plan would require us keep our current positions or find positions in Boulder. Adam could interview at CU (he currently works at DU) and I could just look for a position in Boulder instead of Denver. Or we could commute everyday back to Denver, which lots of people do.


They have yet to tell us when they make the announcement for the chosen few, but we heard a rumor its the second week of April! Figures crossed, say some prayers. Our life COULD change dramatically and it is driving me insane not knowing...
