LaunchBoxDigital Offering Funding to Startups
New York, NY (February 22, 2008) – TechCrunch is reporting that LaunchBoxDigital, a Washington, D.C.-based startup incubator (that is, they help other start-ups get their financial shit together) has completed it’s seed round of funding and is ready to take applications. From Michael Arrington:
…”LaunchBoxDigital says they’ll invest $15,000 - $30,000 in six to ten startups, in exchange for 4% to 8% of the equity. Founding teams must spend the summer in Washington D.C. to participate in a twelve week incubation program. Applications must be received by March 14, 2008.
The model is based on the much emulated Y Combinator, which has now funded dozens of startups. London based SeedCamp and Colorado based TechStars have nearly identical business models.”
