Since launching in 2005, the Impact Hub network has undergone significant growth, now reaching over 16,500 members in 100+ locations across the globe. This decision was made as the Recife team’s expansion goals focus on real estate and innovative ways of work rather than on the social, economic and environmental impact.

Never missing an opportunity for a good war story, I’d like to revisit one high-profile transaction, the $650 million acquisition of MySpace by Fox Interactive Media in 2005, on which I spent many sleepless nights along with the rest of the deal team. The spin-out took a few months to negotiate and didn’t actually close until February 2005.

I remember reading about Google’s Android acquisition in 2005 and wondering what would become of the technology; and then later at Google seeing some of the first versions of the G1, the first Android phone. Redpoint partner Tim Haley recruited Satish to become an EIR at Redpoint and incubate Zimbra.

Ycombinator is the largest and most successful startup incubator in history, and it was started right here in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Startup incubators and accelerators are everywhere today, but were relatively unknown when Ycombinator started 10 years ago. Ycombinator, the incubator of billion dollar unicorns, is a unicorn itself.

If you create a business and start building products and go into an incubator or raise angel/seed money and don’t think about Market Size and Market Structure I only have one question: Why? But that’s harder to build in 2016 than it was in say 2005. Incumbent Strengths & Weaknesses. But you should.

How tech startup fundraising changed from 2005 to now. In 2005, when Y Combinator started, there was already a well developed ecosystem of venture capital firms in Silicon Valley and Boston. The startup is typically incubated out of the VC’s offices. But access to those venture capital firms was limited.

This has led to the creation of incubators, accelerators and seed funds. LP contributions to VC firms shrunk from 2000 and by 2005-2008 had stabilized to around $30 billion per year. If you want to understand the details of why this is, I covered it in detail in this post, Understanding Changes in the Software Industry.

Jerusalem’s economy and therefore startup scene suffered after the second Intifada (the Palestinian uprising that began in late September 2000 and ended around 2005). However, the decline may also be a function of large tech firms setting up incubation hubs to cut up and absorb talent. billion (£7 billion), came from Jerusalem.

Chris Devore & Andy Sack have created Founder’s Coop with the goal of funding, incubating & launching more early-stage ventures in Seattle. When I saw what BuddyTV is working on and how long they’ve been the market (since 2005) I realized that this has huge potential to help disrupt the television market.
