Slipstream Ventures incubates "hard goods"
| November 30, 2007 |  View for printing |
Tucked above the Old Spaghetti Factory on Elliott Avenue, a new venture capital model is taking root. Dubbed Slipstream Ventures http://www.slipstreamdesign.com/ , it is the latest spin on the time-tested incubator concept.
Business incubators have been created in the past to help jumpstart new Internet, biotechnology and medical device companies. Atlas Accelerator, Curious Office Partners and Y Combinator have targeted some of the emerging software and Internet ideas in town, while Seattle-based Accelerator Corp. is germinating early-stage biotechnology startups.
Slipstream, however, is focusing on a new segment, those inventions that involve the design and production of physical products. That can range from electronics to consumer sporting goods to lab equipment, basically what Slipstream Ventures President Stuart Jamieson dubs "hard goods."
