I'm here in St. Petersburg, Florida this morning to learn more about the newest TechStars Network member, Gazelle Lab. This 3-month, mentor-driven program is Tampa Bay's attempt to establish itself as a home toentrepreneurial innovation and a place where early stage startups are fostered. Today, the Lablaunched its first full round of startups today, after having previously launched a "beta" group of just 3 companies earlier this year. Today's launch includes 6 startups, with a diversity of focus ranging from the fun (a mobile adventure quest game) to the practical (an app that listens to your car to help you save you money). The startups will demo in front of investors later this year.While six may seem like a small number when parent company TechStars routinely launches groups of a dozen or so, it's a big number for the Tampa Bay area, which has struggled to solidify its position as an entrepreneurialcommunity. Great startups areoccasionallyfounded here, but once they're successful they tend to leave, following the money (that is, the venture capital) out to Silicon Valley.
