Seed Combinators: Startup Incubators 2.0
3:30 p.m., Monday, March 15
Hilton C
A discussion on the changing culture of start-ups, angel investing and incubators,
this panel features Joshua Baer of Austin’s
Otherinbox.com, a service that allows you to avoid spam by creating a place for useful e-mails (newsletters, Facebook notifications, etc.) that you don’t want cluttering up your inbox.
The panel will describe “Seed Combinators,” which is defined in the panel description as, “…the concept of mashing up angel investing, OpenCoffee Club meetups, tactical workshops, and Coworking that is giving rise to a new class of software and new media startups.”
Here’s some background on Austin’s Capital Factory from our start-ups reporter Lori Hawkins, a follow-up from her, an article about Austin’s Demo Day from TechCrunch and an NPR All Tech Considered segment I did in which I spoke about the problem of spam. Joshua Baer helped me prepare for the segment by giving me some background on how Otherinbox works and how most e-mail filtering companies deal with spam in a phone interview.
Bear was also one of the American-Statesman’s 2009 Texas Social Media Award winners.
