If it’s New + Cool, you better believe Andrew’s somehow involved in it. He’s a self proclaimed startup enthusiast who’s got his hands on so many projects that I’m not sure when he sleeps. (I assume the coffee helps with that)

He’s the Community Director for TechStars, the finest startup accelerator around. TechStars is a mentorship-driven seed stage investment program operating once a year in Boulder, Boston, and Seattle. Got a game changing cutting edge startup idea? Check out the details over at TechStars.org and Apply for your chance at incubation.

You can find Andrew blogging about all the projects he’s involved with, the in’s and out’s of living in Boulder, and his travels abroad at his personal spot http://andrewhy.de

He founded Startup Weekend, a 54 hour startup event that provides networking, resources, and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. He also launched VCwear, a t-shirt company that aims to bring humor to the givings, or lack thereof, of Venture Capital and startup pitches. Go grab a couple now!

An upcoming event that Andrew helped organize is the eighth installment of Ignite Boulder. A night of presentations with a twist, Ignite Boulder provides a stage for speakers to present on a subject of their choice. Each speaker has exactly five minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire—backed by twenty slides auto-advancing every fifteen seconds. Tickets for this event on Feb. 10, 2010 go on sale TODAY! Grab a few while they last. This event is sure to sell out quick.

I met Andrew at Trident Bookstore + Cafe for this shoot. We decided to do a fun, tacky, portrait style piece; and after playing for a bit in the snow and wood pile out back of Trident, I think we pulled it off. Super excited for the opportunity to meet him and learn more about all his involvements. Keep your eye on this one.
