As the Techstars companies get ready for investor day, the community should be sitting back enjoying its collection of karma points. You did good this summer, in July you helped nonprofits and in August you helped the 2010 Techstars companies get ready for investor day. You deserve a day off go: bike, hike, run, meditate, get a massage, do some yoga, rock climb, veg out in front of an episode or 2 of Battlestar Galactica, cozy up to your partner, or start a new company.

Your choice, I know what I am going to do. :)

As we ended Techstars @BDNT we gave everyone a virtual dollar to invest. I wanted to give everyone a chance to vote, before releasing the results, so I created poll. http://www.bdnewtech.com/polls/245155/i/gh_new_poll_tl

The links below will give you additional corporate skinny, if you missed any of the presentations. I will send out the results on Friday.
