In the past week, I have wrote two blogs about the new fad in technology and venture capital world of regional startup incubator seed programs. Initially I wrote about the influx of programs, only to find Capital Factory to join the party a week later out of Austin. Fast forward a couple of days and get again there is yet another arrival at the party. This time it's NextStart, out of South Carolina. Although the capital investment amounts seem smaller (5-10k), you could argue that the lower overhead costs in South Carolina makes those amounts adequate compared to the 10-25k that many other programs are giving out in areas with higher costs of living/doing business. Below are some details. At this rate, 1/2 my blog posts will be following this trend which would suck because I have a handful of things I want to write this week.
