A select group of fourteen startups will work, sleep, eat, and breath together in Dallas for the next three months. Tech Wildcatters, a seed accelerator that started in 2010, has announced its newest, and largest, class of startups from across the world. Of the fourteen companies, five are from Texas.
The Lone Star State is home to more than 50 Fortune 500 corporate headquarters. Part of what Tech Wildcatters offers startups is direct access to these well-established companies.
“Texas is garnering a lot of attention these days from tech companies large and small due to its business friendly culture, density of high tech firms and number of highly qualified job candidates,” says Gabriella Draney, CEO and C-Founder of Tech Wildcatters.
Each startup gets up to $25,000 in seed funding, and Tech Wildcatters takes up to 10 percent equity in each company.
