iPad 3 4G Teardown Massachusetts, The people of Massachusetts have always stood up for their right to repair. In 2012, voters passed a law that ensured residents' right to repair their car wherever they wanted. Now, it's time to do the same for electronics. With the Digital Right to Repair Bill, H.3383, we have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronics — like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. We have a chance to help the environment and stand up for local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.

Unlike many business assistance programs, business incubators do not serve any and all companies. Entrepreneurs who wish to enter a business incubation program must apply for admission. They also tend to be physical places where you can start your business under a collective roof. Other differences are that while one of the benefits of either business assistance programs or incubators is the ability of participants to network, the accelerator does as well, but also actively supports entrepreneurs in their search for finance and introduces funders to the participants.

Surveying the Incubator and Accelerator Landscape Share it! Innovation and entrepreneurship are intimately linked, but as Silicon Valley has grown, the connection between the two has become evermore complex. By Birgit Coleman & Gioia Deucher, swissnex San Francisco Startup Services Team The Three Incubating Categories Startups are moving from coffee houses and garages to co-working facilities, incubators, and accelerators. Economic Impact Of Startup Accelerators: $1.6B+ Raised, 4,800+ Jobs Created, 2,000 Startups Funded Today, there seem to be more business accelerators than there are startups to fill their classes and cohorts. It seems that not a week goes by without the launch of another accelerator or seed starter fund. In fact, as Peter Relan said in a recent post (riffing on Chris Dixon), accelerators have become an industry segment in their own right. He also goes so far as to surmise that — just as it is for startups — 90 percent of accelerators are likely to fail. Nonetheless, even if they fail, accelerators are still essential to the growth of entrepreneurial ecosystems not only because they provide a petri dish for innovation, but because they create jobs. In an article on AllThingsD today, Jed Christiansen contends that the fundamental value of seed accelerators lies in their ability to both drive economic growth and foster an entrepreneurial culture within local communities.
FounderFuel Offers Up Silicon Valley Office Space And Cross-Pollination Opportunities For Canadian Startups Montreal-based FounderFuel, one of Canada’s leading startup accelerator programs, announced a new plan this week to provide access to free work space at Rocketspace or Plug Snd Play in SF and Silicon Valley for three teams for each of its cohorts for three months. The deal applies retroactively, too, meaning FounderFuel and partners the Canadian Technology Accelerator and the Consulate General of Canada will be sending 9 teams from its existing three cohorts of graduating startups down California way. The Silicon Valley pilgrimage is already a standard part of many a Canadian startup’s growth pattern: scouting out talent, connections and most importantly, funding in San Francisco and the surrounding area is almost de rigeur, especially considering the relative shyness Canadian VCs have when it comes to investing in very early stage startups.
