DreamIt Recruiting New Class of Startups

We’ve covered the startups from the DreamIt incubator several times over the past couple of years. Based in Philly, the DreamIt startup incubator helps people with ideas move the ideas forward into full startups. The group provides mentoring, connections, startup community and cash up to $30,000 (most receive $15-25,000).

Applications are accepted from companies and from individuals looking to join a new startup. DreamIt explains how to the process works, “Successful applicants do not need a pre-established business plan, just a great idea and the core members of their team. By the end of the summer program, companies will have a working, fundable version of their product. The program begins in mid-May and ends with the companies presenting their products to leading investors on Demo Day on August 6.”

Some of the NY-based startups that graduated from the DreamIt program include Postling and Seatgeek.

DreamIt is accepting applications through March 22. One of the DreamIt founders presented at the NY Tech Meetup this month and noted that the application should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

It sure seems more and more that 2010 is the year of the startup incubator with a variety of programs across the country. And if you add in startup coworking and shared office spaces, the segment is growing fast around the world.
