Let me set the record straight. While I've seen plenty of articles come to press that has somewhat inaccurate quotes, this was the first time I've been completely misrepresented in an article. I've written a full post on my views here - http://sethlevine.typepad.com/vc_adventure/2007/07/setting-t.... It's particularly frustrating in this case, as I've spent literally hundreds of hours working with TechStars and TechStars companies in Boulder this summer (and am the lead mentor to one very promising project). I actually believe strongly in the model.

I hope you'll consider posting this response up to your main site with a reference to my post clarifying my views.
