Quotes from Summer@Highland applications
It’s that time of year again when I find myself pouring over hundreds of applications to our Summer@Highland program. Summer@Highland is our summer accelerator program for university-affiliated entrepreneurs and is responsible for helping awesome companies like Wildfire, Gemvara, Cloudflare, and Tivli get up and running back in the day.
I tweeted a few of my favorite quotes from these apps over the last few days, but when TimeHop showed me some of my tweets about the applications from a year ago, I decided it was time to write a post compiling a few of my favorites.
I just saw The Social Network and am ready to rock & roll. (2010)
We all have full-time offers, but honestly full-time job offers are relatively easy to come by for us. (2010)
I love the fact that a few guys with only a computer and an idea can change the world. (2010)
Our market potential is super-colossal. (2010)
I love the internet, and, if I had to bet, I’d bet that you love it too. (2011)

[so says Nick] I’ll tell you what 13 year old Nick would say, and it’s the same thing that 24 year old Nick would say. (2011)
And closing with my favorite, which came not from an application, but a letter of reference from a CEO:
In all honesty, I hope that Highland rejects them so I can poach them for my own team. (2011)
