San Antonio Startups (and Startups to be) here’s $20K in cash; $20K in free stuff and 20 mentors for your startup (not a misprint)

March 27, 2009

Hey San Antonio:  Got a compelling idea for a startup, but are held back by some basic seed money?  

Here’s the deal:  Marc Nathan, just told me about something way cool.  Marc, who is the Director of Development at the Houston Technology Center and an investor in the Capital Factory,  just told me about a new seed capital and mentorship program in Austin.  (You don’t have to live or work in Austin to take part).  

They’re  choosing 3 startups to spend 10 weeks in Austin to build their company. They receive $20k in cash, $20k in free stuff, and 20 successful mentors as investors. The 10 weeks end in August with a Demo Day to potential investors. It’s the mentor’s job to ensure they head in the right direction, and introduce them to potential customers and investors. 

This is an unbeatable opportunity for a technology-based entrepreneur to get an accelerated start, especially in tough times. There is an April 3 deadline so hop on the stick.
