Startup accelerator programs, as the name suggests, provide budding companies with any number of resources, from mentorship to free office space to connections with big-time investors. TechStars, which has five program locations throughout the U.S., boasts itself as the No. 1 startup accelerator in the world. It selects around 10 companies for each program location out of thousands of applicants.

TechStars invests around $100,000 in each company, and assists with public relations, e-commerce, and legal fees, among other perks. At the conclusion of a three-month mentorship program is “Demo Day,” where these chosen few have the chance to pitch their startups to a room filled with hundreds of investors, potential clients, and media.

Last Thursday was Demo Day for TechStars NYC’s Spring 2012 program, and 13 companies have just joined the exclusive group of TechStars alumni. Here we look at seven black founders who have also gone through the program.--Ashley Calloway

New Siri Features

I love the current Siri TV ads by Apple, and, quite frankly, it is the only place the personal assistant software seems to work. All jokes aside, it will be interesting to see Siri on new iPad. Here are some of its enhanced functions:
--Users will be able to post Facebook updates and send tweets with their voice.

--Siri has partnered with Yelp, OpenTable, Rotten Tomatoes, and sports score updates ranging from the latest scores to stats and schedules.

--The software assistant will continue expanding globally with its new language support, which will now feature Spanish, Italian, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese, and optimize languages in 15 countries.

Apple is working with automotive manufactures to launch “Eyes Free,” a new feature that will allow a car to bring up Siri voice control. Nine auto manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Toyota are working on this implementation with plans to incorporate the technology in the next 12 months.

Mistake 3: Having a negative or arrogant attitude.

Seldom in life does anyone rise to the top without paying their dues first. No matter what level you’re at in your career, your job will probably include some form of menial tasks. “Chances are many of the tasks that make you mutter, ‘Why do I have to do this?’ won’t go away with your first (or second, or third) promotion,” Winters says. “Suck it up and realize that everything is a learning opportunity. Then, look forward to the parts of your job that you enjoy.”
