Techstars recently appointed Anna Barber as its Managing Director, so we thought we'd sit down and get to know Anna better. Anna Barber: Before this, I hadn't been involved with Techstars as a mentor, however, I'd been an entrepreneur and mentored at other accelerators. How did you get involved with Techstars? That's exciting.

According to a recent Forbes article , UC Santa Barbara''s Technology Management Program offers students a superior startup education over the University of Pennsylvania (home of Wharton), as well Harvard, Northwestern and even its acclaimed southern neighbor, the University of Southern California.

For today's interview, we spoke to Dave Eastman, the Director of the Viterbi Startup Garage, a startup incubator that is run by the University of Southern California, out of its location in Marina Del Rey. We also have associate teams, which for the most part, are faculty associate teams.

I acted as the occasional mentor, advisor and coach to Ethan. In industry this is known as “yield management” and of course it needs to exist. We will stay in LA and then Southern California before branching out into our 2nd & 3rd markets. The company was called Red Beacon.

Despite a growing technology industry here in Southern California, local investors and entrepreneurs tell us there''s still a shortage of local, venture capital. Of course, if you can get a referral through a person I know, it''s much more helpful because I can get that person''s opinion as well.

For me, FI was great for networking with Adeo and the other mentors, who are all world class successful entrepreneurs themselves, as well as the other founders in the program. I am a product guy so my bias is always to focus on building a great product first. What networking events in Los Angeles or Southern California do you go to?

Of course, I have an advantage because I organize the LA CTO Forum. Of course, since you know those questions, you can just collect up the answers and provide them to your developers. Of course, they could use new technologies that they are not familiar with, but is that really what you want? Of course, it’s never complete.

We've made some investments here and there, and are now building a team, and making a lot of investments in SoCal tech companies. So, now, as a VC, I swore I'd never treat entrepreneurs like those VCs treated me. Of course, not all VCs are like that, and I've started some good relationships with them, but others are complete a**holes.

Learning, Networking, Mentors From the question, this person is clearly looking at the issue of how to grow into this role. And it's quite common for people to get together outside of meetings to discuss issues they face and/or to seek a kind of mentoring relationship. The brain power of this group is amazing.

My long-time mentor – Yves Sisteron – brought me on board and was gracious enough to give me the space to build out my own personal brand without overshadowing his amazing accomplishments. Maybe I could be SoCal guy? Jason charted his own course though. And in awe of those that got to a level higher than we got.

Though this was 2000 , and all startup & VC blogs we've grown to love didn't exist yet, I did have mentors available. We’ve been using MongoDB as the backing store for Treasury , and over the course of two and a half months , we’ve had over 50,000 excellent Treasuries created by the Etsy community, all stored and served in MongoDB.
