This is class four for Launchpad LA. We’ve been blown away by the performance of the eight companies in this class. There are a couple of companies that have already done fundraising whereas at a normal incubator non of them would have even started.”. Those eight have recently completed the program and are ready to do business.

We were founded in 2009 by Mark Suster from GRP Partners. We got over 400 applications for the ten slots we had open in this class, and we picked ten amazing companies. So far, eight of the ten companies in our current class have raised outside funding, and we're really happy with how it's gone so far. So when is the next class?

It was 2009 and it was terribly difficult to get any financing (if you can remember a time like that!) We have witnessed one hell of a startup boom from 2009-2014 which has coincided with the boom in accelerators. With the success of Idealab in the 90’s every city was building out incubators. Market stage is everything.

We select ten per class, and help those startups connect with mentors and other people in that local environment who can be helpful to the business. That worked well enough, we did another class in 2008 with another 10 companies, and in 2009 we expanded to Boston. The focus is on helping the startup.

This spells further unemployment, cuts in services and a further retrenchment in middle-class spending and housing prices. This class of investors is more diversified across categories plus is investing personal money and therefore feels the hit in assets declines first.
