And the real answer to this is that getting large exits takes a long time. Unless I'm mistaken YC, which is older than Techstars and has 50% more portfolio companies, has 3 exits over 100 million, OMGPOP, Heroku and Twitch. Granted the last one was a big one.
- justin 12y agoYC also has 4 companies with public valuations over 1 billion: Machine Zone, Stripe, Airbnb and Dropbox
- mjffjm 12y agoTechstars should see some other big exits over time with SendGrid (couldn't find actual current valuation) and DigitalOcean ($153M Valuation in 3 years) to name a few
- LogicX 12y agoAlso Localytics (TS Boston 2009) is well positioned for a big exit or IPO: http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/localytics http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/localytics (Disclosure: Hackstar in 2009, Founder in 2010)
