Project Eden will assist on providing legal facility, administration, and financial management so they can compete in the real digital business. Project Eden is supported byJardintech Capital, a number of influential people in digital marketing world and initiators of startuplokal community. Now Project Eden is yet to have portfolio and the winner of Investor Idol will be their first portfolio.
Project Eden, located around Menteng area, is now ready to be used as startup incubator and become office for 20-40 startups. Startups that want to to setup their office aren’t necessarily have to be incubated by Project Eden. Eventhough they call themselves “hackerspace”, we’d like to think that it is an incubator and accelerator, and not meeting criteria as “hackerspace” as described on Wikipedia page. Welcome to the new incubation, hopefully they will help startups to grow the biggest possible and achieve their dream.
