The Sunnyvale, Calif. firm Plug and Play has a variety of programs forstartups, including a Startup Camp, a program for international startups, and a program forstartups spinning out of universities, as well as space that it rents out to new startups that need a small shared workspace.
Akinori Koto, general manager of Digital Garage's U.S. operations, says the space will house a new incubator for U.S. startups interested in the Japanese market and serve as a home away from home forstartups from its Tokyo-based incubator.
Wefunder is a site for people to invest in startups. (This is the only one of the batch that allows people to take an equity stake.) The company is betting on the JOBS Act, which promises to make it possible forstartups to raise investment dollars online.
