What Company is offering:
Bang Ventures is a New York based investment firm with offices in Cambridge and is focused on early stage emerging technology companies. Bang Ventures isn't a VC firm. They help smart and driven people co-found fantastic new companies, providing entrepreneurs with a roof over their heads, mentoring, a deep network of contacts, marketing support, professional services and other technical support....and yes, funding as well.
How It Works:
Bang Ventures gets into the projects at the inception phase, evaluating opportunities and empowering entrepreneurs to develop strong companies. The firm is currently focused on investing in North America and Eastern/Central Europe in sectors ranging from Web 2.0 to clean tech to medical devices.
Bang Ventures is making an open call for entrepreneurs to submit their ideas for new start-ups -- then they'll let the public decide on the next three companies we fund….after several rounds of tasks, analysis, and video pitches. That is You Be The VC in a nutshell.
Essentially the three selected companies get a company to run. Winners will get financing, programming/web development, expert mentoring, office space, legal, accounting, administrative and marketing support, as well as a stipend to live and work in Cambridge.
