Find me on:

Ever wonder what it's like to be in an accelerator the night before Demo Day?

Anticipation is high. The walk-through today went well. Slides are triple checked. Founders are fearful and eager at the same time. Schedules are hectic, meetings lined up with investors right and left.

Time is flying by and the to-do list is just as long as ever. Thirteen week? Really? It seems like yesterday this all got started. Ten admirably crazy teams of marijuana entrepreneurs took the giant leap of faith required to upend everything in pursuit of a dream. It's a real world version of HBO's Silicon Valley (we even have a lot of cereal in the office).

Oh, and it's Boulder Startup Week so no pressure but there are thousands of other entrepreneurs in the city eagerly awaiting your presentation tomorrow evening.

Basically, it's a lot of fun. Perhaps you should apply?
