Tampas New TechStars Network Incubator, Gazelle Lab, Launches 6 Companies

gazellelabIt's Demo Day for Gazelle Lab, the new Tampa Bay-based TechStars Network member, which is seeing its first class of startups launch this morning in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. The accelerator, based on the successful TechStars model, was founded in early 2011 with three goals: build an entrepreneurship community in the Tampa Bay area, create a seed stage pipeline (something notoriously lacking in Florida today) and create more jobs.Despite its struggle to register as a tech hotspot, there's actually a fairly sizable tech community in the Tampa Bay region - it just doesn't always involve early stage startups like the ones you would see featured on sites like TechCrunch. Developers here often seem content to work at larger firms, like in banking, healthcare, and of course, given MacDill's presence, for the military.With Gazelle Lab, that may soon start to change.
