other programs?
Resident program: We provide office space to our
companies and feel it’s important to work together.
Focus on marketing: We work closely with you to help
your business grow.
Diversity: Our program is by far the most diverse and
therefore most awesome.
Fun: Startup life is hard, so when you’re not working
hard you should play hard. Get social and have some
fun.
We’re different, and that’s a good thing:
