+100 for Dreamit (C'08). The founders/investors are exactly the kind of people I didn't realize I needed as my mentors. Even though it was the first year, they had a long-term calm about them that kept me thinking constantly about what am I learning, what is the next iteration, instead of staring at bar graphs.

Being 10 feet away from other teams was amazing - we had awesome frisbee games where some of our best ideas came from, and my most trusted startup-world connections have come from working in close proximity for three months.
