Today it was announced that some top Venture Capital firms will provide matching investments. The Capital Factory Fund will match that $50K with another $50K. The benefits of putting your tech startup into the Capital Factory incubator continue to grow. To get accepted into the incubator, you must get two lead mentors to each invest $25K in your company. Then Silverton and FLOODGATE will each kick in $25K bringing your total funding to $150K when you get into the incubator.

In the book, there’s a section dedicated to the the progression of business situations (of company, org, or product). This is called the StaRS Model. Depending on the business situation, your strategy will be different – either learning more or doing more and either offense or defense.

For the next 90 days, Amy and I are matching every gift to the Techstars Foundation on a 1:2 basis up to $100,000 from us. The post Matching Grant to the Techstars Foundation to Help Improve Diversity In Entreprenership appeared first on Feld Thoughts. Our overall goal is to raise at least $300,000 for the Techstars Foundation by the end of the summer. If Techstars has touched you in any positive way, I’d request that you consider making a grant to the Techstars Foundation.
