Google Voice CEO Craig Walker Launches Firespotter, A Google Ventures Funded Incubator
When Google Voice (previously GrandCentral) cofounder and CEO Craig Walker left Google last year, he didn't go far. In fact, he just went across the street to set up a desk at Google Ventures as an entrepreneur in residence. At the time he told me his goal was to start a new company. Now, he tells me, he wants to start lots of them.He and his team (former Google Voice engineers Brian Peterson and John Rector, and Alex Cornell) are launching Firespotter Labs today, an incubator for new startups. The company has also taken an initial $3 million round of funding from Google Ventures (keepin it in the family!). Wesley Chan joins Firespotter's board of directors.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/gOdd4Q15AVU/
