As someone who works for one of the bootstrapped startups in the area, I wanted to let you know that your company would be missing a huge opportunity if you passed this up. That is if you live in the area. :-)

I'm tempted to apply, but I don't need the office space part, and I can't be there all day anyway because of my $DAYJOB. But the advice from successful founders part could be beneficial. But then again, successful people are - in my experience - surprisingly willing to meet and talk with you one on one if you ask nicely, excepting "celebrity" types who just don't have time to deal with all the people wanting access to them.

Plus my "team" is still just me at the moment, which isn't very impressive. But if the right things were to happen by March 11, I might just give it a shot anyway.

There's a lot of cool stuff going on here in the RTP area... I really have a feeling that you're going to see some kickass startups emerging from this area over the next little while. We may be somewhat unknown at the moment, but a startup culture is slowly starting to take shape. I foresee good things for RTP area startup founders in the future.

One of the things that isn't mentioned well on the website is the Internet connection in the space. It's 50mb down by 5mb up. This service hasn't even been rolled out to cable customers in NC yet, pretty cool. I might move my office to Main Street in Durham for a few weeks to get work done a little bit faster.
