Startup Minds: A flexible seed fund and startup accelerator, offering in-house expertise and tailored funding for your unique ideas.
Location
West Hollywood, CA, US
Founded
2004
Startup Minds is a new kind of seed fund and startup accelerator. They have their own in-office startups, so they actually practice what they preach. They know startups are most productive when they can spend their time developing their own ideas, and therefore they don’t have a strict class-and-curriculum approach. Schedule a meeting with us to see their beautiful office anytime: tell us whether your idea needs $30k in seed funding or $200k, and tap their in-house devs, UX designers, CFO, marketing experts, or QA product gurus on the shoulder if you need a second opinion, want to know the tax consequences of setting up an employee pool for your startup, or want to grab a drink after work.
Why are they so flexible? Not (only) because they’re super nice people. They understand that, these days it’s easier than ever to start a company, and the balance of power has largely shifted from investors to hackers. They believe in empowering, not controlling. And they have a compelling track record of success.
