About iamelgringo
We are dedicated to helping as many startups as possible grow from garage stage to successful companies. Because of that, we boot strapped our incubator, The Co-op:
First run of The Co-op: 6 startups All --> raised at least seed 4 --> revenue 2 --> press hits in WaPo, NYT, and Inc. 2 --> 3 acquisition offers
All this before Not-a-Demo-Day.
Did I mention our Not-a-Demo-Day was a Scotch Tasting?
