A new startup accelerator that’s looking to change the way we travel
Skift Take
We’re interested to see which startups are born from RunUp Labs and where they’ll find their place in the currently crowded market of travel sites and apps.
There are over 60 seed accelerators in the U.S. today. While many programs accept great ideas without focusing in a certain industry, others tackle one specific field. Take Startl's accelerator program focused on learning/education technologies or Blueprint Health for health tech startups. Now there's one in the works for travel.
RunUp Labs is the brainchild of venture capital firm Sproutbox and travel industry titan Cornerstone Information Systems. The program, located in Bloomington, Indiana, began accepting applications a couple of weeks ago for its first class of travel entrepreneurs.
How it works
The program will accept up to 10 startups for its first class, which runs from March to May 2013. Founders will be given $20,000
