On: Ask HN: YC in SF or TechStars in NYC?

[jeffpowers]

We got into TechStars in Boulder in 08, but before that we were couped up in the upper west side trying to make it happen. Had there been a TechStars in NYC, we probably never would have relocated to Boulder. There's something to be said for the fact that the NYC community isn't as swamped with startups yet. That's not to say you'd be completely lost in the SF noise, though, because YC definitely helps with that.

I will give both a try. Either city is great. It seems like both are life changing experiences for young, ambitious entrepreneurs.

True. In fact we're working more closely with Stickybits to do more than just license them the RedLaser SDK. Stay tuned for more on that.

My cofounder and I are working on a product that, in part, replaces a piece of enterprise hardware with a QR code sticker so shaky reading isn't an option. We've been looking at the Red Laser sdk so hopefully we'll be in touch soon.

Actually ZXing is a very very small part of RedLaser. We are thinking about kicking back our C++ port to the community!
