Fetchnotes, the Ann Arbor startup founded by a group of University of Michigan students, announced today that it has been accepted into the national business accelerator TechStars Boston writes Sarah Schmid of Xconomy Detroit. 

TechStars Boston is a prestigious program that accepts only one percent of startups that apply. Fetchnotes is the first U-M student startup to earn the distinction.

Fetchnotes is a cloud-based notepad that focuses on short items, as digital sticky notes. 

Users can text, call, and e-mail reminder notes on the fly from their mobile phones, and the content shows up on the Fetchnotes app. The notes can be organized at the point of capture using hashtags (for example, “#call Alex Schiff re: article #todo”) and they’re also shareable with other Fetchnotes users.
