Micah,

Cheers, I’ll look at Y-Combinator, which I have actually heard of, wonder of wonders.

So – I’m confused a bit as to where the rickrolling actually came in?

That said, I suppose if I were an entrepreneur, I should hang out with you more – to learn how NOT to approach the field! ;)

Seriously tho – when are we having coffee?

@david I think the funnier thing was the fact you didnt know what a rickroll was…

If Micah hadn’t slipped up and put the wrong fake email address in the application, he would have noticed that his fake app actually drew an email.

somehow, I suspect the rickrolling of the selection committee ruffled a few feathers. NICE ONE!

So does this mean if I’m in any way associated with Rick Astley then I won’t be able to get in to TechStars? I bought one of his records once…

@stu Techstars is an awesome organization. There are several similar programs, including Y-combinator that you should look into.

Ha. Nice one.

I’m wondering if they would fund a really uber cool new mmorpg project with dwarves and cool +10 arrows of crazy.

Anyway, thanks for pointing out just one more initiative for me to discover. The site looks polished, comes across as a professional deal.
