New Orleans First Tech Incubator, Launch Pad Ignition, Debuts Its Second Batch Of Startups

Screen shot 2012-05-04 at 9.58.47 PMLaunch Pad Ignition, the first tech incubator to make its home in the Big Easy, today officially unveiled the seven companies that participated in its second annual session. The accelerator's 12-week program began the second week of February and culminated yesterday with its own New Orleans rendition of the patented "Demo Day," appropriately called "Launch Fest," which we've been told is "Jazz Fest plus startups, on steroids." Launch Pad's model is a bit different than that of the traditional accelerator, in that Co-founder Chris Schultz tells us it's geared towards building traction, not offering big early funding.
