Two More NYC TechStars To Watch: Nestio And ThinkNear

TechStars NYC killed it today with its first ever Demo Day in New York City. I've been to a lot of startup pitch events, and I felt that the caliber of the companies and pitches were better than most other incubator and startup events in New York (which makes me feel really good about our own <a href="https://disrupt.techcrunch.com/">Disrupt NYC event coming up in May). The room was packed with investors too, including Union Square's Fred Wilson, Roger Ehrenberg of IA Ventures, Howard Lindzon, Mo Koyfman of Spark Capital, and John Borthwick and Andrew Weissman of betaworks. The energy and interest level was up a notch from what I've witnessed before. Right out of the gate the pitches were strong. I've already written about would-be Craigslist killer Friendslist, tablet publishing platform OnSwipe (watch video), smart digital signage startup Immersive and crowdsourced learning site Veri (watch another video). But I want to highlight two more Demo Day startups that impressed me: Nestio and ThinkNear
