New startup accelerator Advise.me has today formalized partnerships with the law firm Perkins Cole, plus Xero, Zendesk, GetSatisfaction, and SEOmoz all of which will provide services to its startup participants for free.
The incubator, which is encouraging global entrepreneurs to apply to its program, has also just added eight more members to its team, including folks from GetSatisfaction, Facebook, Microsoft, Yammer, About.me, MetaLab, Posterous and Unitas Global.
With the Perkins Cole partnership, Advise.me participants will be able to work directly with the firm for all their legal needs for free, not just for legal consultation. Advise.me also formalized partnerships with Xero, Zendesk,�and GetSatisfaction�to provide one year of service�to the companies accepted, as well with SEOmoz, which will�provide six months of its pro service, also for free.�
The new team members include:
- Wendy Lea, CEO at GetSatisfaction
- Sachin Agarwal, Founder and CEO at Posterous
- Grant�Kirkwood, Founder and CEO at�Unitas Global
- Alfredo�Finch, Director of Finance at Microsoft
- Luke�Seeley, Director of Product at MetaLab
- Brad�Dowhaniuk,�Sr. Accounting Manager�at�Facebook
- Laura Gluhanich, Community Manager at�about.me
- Paul Lathrop, Senior Linux Systems Administrator at Yammer
Advise.me's program is offering a slightly different take on startup advising than some of the others in the space. Instead of a classroom approach, each startup receives one-on-one support from a team of 2 to 7 industry experts who have experience that's relevant to the startup they're paired with. That not only improves the quality of the advice the team can give, but the advisors can also help startups by connecting founders to the appropriate industry contracts.
