In late 2009, a group of seasoned entrepreneurs and investors came together to form The Start Project, a Silicon Valley-based incubator focused on idea generation, software development, product vision, and bringing great ideas to market. The project is the brainchild of Narendra Rocherolle of 83 Degrees and Webshots, among others, and Josh Felser of Spinner, Crackle, and Freestyle Capital fame. Not long after The Start Project's launch, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, and former Google exec and angel investor Chris Sacca agreed to act as advisors to the incubator's companies, both before and after launch. At the time, some likely asked, "does Silicon Valley really need another incubator?" Fair enough, but with such an impressive cast of investors and entrepreneurs surrounding the project, I've been excited to see what kind of businesses it would produce and what digital problems it would choose to address.
