AngelPad's Sixth Batch Of Startups Includes Companies Working On Drones, Storage, And More
AngelPad, the San Francisco-based accelerator founded by former Googlers, held its sixth demo day yesterday. I wasn't there (I know, it's super-embarrassing), but I did get to meet with founding partners Thomas Korte and Carine Magescas today to talk about the newest batch of companies.Magescas said that in the three years since AngelPad was founded, "the premise of what we had in the beginning has been validated." That premise breaks down to three main ideas, she said. First, she and Korte "push [the startups] really hard." That's particularly important in the company's early stages, Korte said, because it can be hard for the founders to get honest feedback from their family and friends, and because making a relatively small change can have a big effect on a startup's ultimate trajectory.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Tw6X4nkMBXA/
