The TechStars Investor Day

September 11th, 2009

TempMine’s days of flying under the radar are now over thanks to last nights TechStars Investor Day (and here, here and here). Thanks much to everyone for coming out.  It was amazing to share our vision of they way temporary staffing should work.

Who thought temporary staffing could be so exciting?

We did, and do.

We’ll have more to say soon as our beta comes along.  Please join our mailing list if you’d like to know more as soon as there’s more to know.

Our first press

July 3rd, 2009

We’ve tried our best to stay off of just about every radar so far.  That came to an end last week when Galen Moore from MassHighTech visited TechStars.   Galen was the first reporter invited into TechStars’ new Boston (actually Cambridge) digs.   He was looking to write a day in the life of the TehcStars’ first Boston class.  The result:  Fast pace, less funding define TechStars.

“It’s like a year or two of company life in three months,” said Mike Monaghan, whose company, TempMine, is building an online temporary staffing marketplace. Heads down, founders tilt at business obstacles — crashing through walls, as Monaghan put it — until one of the program’s mentors or advisers points out an easier way. “They can say, ‘Whoa. There’s a door two feet over. Here.’”

So there you have it, our first press.  Next time we’ll be ready to say a bit more.
