Techstars is a YC-style program out of Boulder. Has anyone considered it? Why or why not?

I know very little about techstars, but it might be worth taking pg's advice, since "Bad Location" is #2 on the 18 Mistakes that Kill Startups:

There's a reason YC is only Boston and Bay Area.

However, in "How to be Silicon Valley" he singled Boulder as a place with most of the ingredients for being a startup hub even though it currently isn't. So there are probably worse places to be. Still at best a distant third, though.

I know a guy here in Italy who ran a startup from there, and did quite well by himself, to boot. Now he's set and he can come spend his time here hassling with Telecom Italia trying to get his DSL line working.
