> but some of the things offered by TechStars are game changers

You're really going to need to elaborate on this. Some of those perks (maybe even all of them) are not things TechStars paid for.. they're things that other companies chose to give away to startups in an accelerator (of which TechStars is one).

I really don't understand why I should give TechStars kudos because they slapped Amazon's logo on a page and a short blurb about a program that Amazon has for startups.

This is a serious question: if Amazon (and Microsoft, SoftLayer, Paypal, and others) setup a program for startups, give the services to startups, and pay for those services from their own pockets... What did TechStars do to earn a share of the credit for those programs?
