Startup accelerator DreamIt Ventures targeted Austin, Tex. for its next expansion back in July, but now it has a home within the city.
The accelerator program’s companies will now be housed at the Capital Factory, a co-working space that many consider the heart of Austin’s tech community.
DreamIt has launched 80 companies since 2008, including SCVNGR/LevelUp, SeatGeek, Adaptly, Notehall and others. It plans to add another 39 companies over the next year, with about 10 from Austin. The Austin accelerator program, announced back in July, will help groom startups leading up to the city’s South by Southwest (SXSW) event in March. To get into the program, you must be an Austin resident (or be willing to relocate for the duration of the program). Applications are being accepted through Oct. 26, with the program kicking off in December.
