Rather, Beehive Startups wanted to build an organization that focuses on helping entrepreneurs in Salt Lake City design sustainable products and companies. That is, StartStudio focuses on early stage startups and works with founders to help develop new products and launch scalable tech companies. Companies that are accepted into StartStudio receive up to $100,000 in the form of a convertible note. Not only that, they’ll also work closely with an in house team and a wide array of mentors to build a business worthy of long term investment and top talent. Some of their big name partners at launch are Kickstart Seed Fund and Izeni. Both will work closely with the startups and help guide founders through nearly all aspects of building a scalable company. In addition to the launch of StartStudio, Beehive Startups announced that they’ve officially accepted their first startup into the program: Simple Citizen. Their mission is to simplify the immigration process that’s beyond complex. So, sure, it’s not an accelerator. It rings more similar to Garrett Camp’s Expa start studio which we’ve seen have some pretty great traction so far. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on Simple Citizen and future additions to the program as StartStudio keeps expanding. Image Credit: Beehive Startups Facebook page
