“Our hypothesis - that our strength would come from a self-supporting community of founders helping each other - has played out better than I could have imagined. “It has been humbling to see the growth of the StartX community over the past decade to more than 1300 startup founders starting with my time as a junior working out of Old Union, whiteboarding the strategy and supporting our first team,” said StartX Founder and Chairman, Cameron Teitelman. Among the many innovative brands to emerge from the StartX community are Arterys, Branch, Eko, GenapSys, Kodiak Sciences (IPO), Life360 (IPO), Lime, Patreon, Poynt and hundreds more. Located down the street from the Stanford University campus is the StartX campus, where approximately 700 companies got their start and now have a combined valuation in excess of $19 billion.
