Early stage companies that are fully committed to their startup. We want teams that have a shown some traction and are looking to reach that next inflection point quickly (ie. initial customers, prototype developed, funding, etc.). Teams accepted into the program are expected to make the program and their startup the top priority for the summer.
The program will offer:

How is this for timing?
Just as Facebook goes public at an anticipated valuation of $100 billion, a Louisville duo is preparing to launch a smartphone application/website they hope will revolutionize the way people socialize.
Hunter Hammonds and Austin Cameron are putting the final tweaks on Impulcity, which they created to make a night out a seamless experience from deciding what band to see to buying tickets, meeting up and ultimately sharing the experience with friends.
A select few of friends and investors including Forecastle Festival founder J.K. McKnight are testing the beta version of Impulcity, built for Apple’s IOS smartphone operating…

Faster than you can say "Can I borrow your copy of 'How To Win Friends And Influence People,'" it's tech conference season again. There hasn't been a week during the month of May where I haven't attended a tech conference or traveled to something tech conference-related. And judging by Techmeme's events calendar the state of affairs only gets worse as we get deeper into summer.
Between Disrupt NYC last week, D10 tomorrow, NY Founders and Le Web London in June, Allen & Co, Sun Valley in July, the CrunchUp in August and TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco in September, the tech community is pretty much spending the next couple of months checking in and out of airports on Foursquare, Path, Instagram or whatever their social/mobile/local drug of choice currently is.
