PeopleBrowsr, a high tech social analytics company, today announced the launch of PeopleBrowsr Labs, the first collaborative workspace designed to accelerate the recognition of Social Media Startups in Silicon Valley.
PeopleBrowsr Labs is giving startups desk space at 474 Bryant Street in SoMA, developer access to the PeopleBrowsr API with over 100 TB of Social Data, and $1,000 Infrastructure Credit monthly from SoftLayer. Startups also have the opportunity to work with podConnect, a new division of Pereira & O’Dell, for mentorship guidance, pitch help, strategy, and UI / UX design. If accepted, membership is $600 per month, per seat.
Ken Hoinsky, CEO of ThoughtLeadr, a startup in the PeopleBrowsr Labs accelerator says, "Our experience with PeopleBrowsr Labs has been nothing short of phenomenal. The office space is modern and perfectly located in SOMA. Through the hard work securing sponsorships, our legal and data costs have been slashed dramatically. But more importantly than that has been how abundantly and quickly valuable introductions have been made. By surrounding ourselves with very smart, like-minded individuals, we've cut our ramp-up time dramatically. I would highly recommend PeopleBrowsr Labs to any social media-focused startup."
PeopleBrowsr Labs is on a mission to:
• Provide the San Francisco startup community with a social media focused innovation lab, dedicated to helping 1-5 person startups accelerate growth through community, support and connections to brands and agencies.
• Create a physical workspace for entrepreneurs, brand marketers and agencies to meet with each other through a series of monthly events.
• Facilitate consistent thought-leadership through events, panels, use cases, presentations, and seminars. Featured speakers have included: Porter Gale, VP of Marketing from Virgin America; Jeff Hayzlett, Ex-CMO Kodak and Change Agent; and Brian Solis, Author of Engage and Principle at Altimeter. Bonin Bough, Global Director of Social Media of PepsiCo, is set to speak in early October.
• Offer Brands and Agencies an inside view into the startup world, in a place where they can meet and partner with the entrepreneurs building new and innovative technologies.
In conjunction with the launch, PeopleBrowsr announces Pereira & O'Dell as its exclusive agency partner. The San Francisco-based advertising agency has formed a social media consultancy titled podCONNECT (pereira o'dellCONNECT). The new arm aims to help brands with new media technology integration, management, and analytics.
Joshua Brandau, Director of Distribution and Strategy at Pereira & O’Dell, now Founder of podCONNECT adds, "This is a powerful partnership for us. We spend a great deal of time working within the social media startup community to ensure that our clients are at the forefront of the space. PeopleBrowsr Labs offers us a meaningful way to choose between providers and tools, and work with companies who are in early-stage growth. When we apply new technologies to solve our clients’ needs, as we did with our recent Intel/Toshiba “INSIDE” campaign, we're truly building solutions that didn't exist before."
PeopleBrowsr Labs has also recently partnered with SoftLayer, who is providing infrastructure advice and off-setting costs for startups that join the space.
“PeopleBrowsr Labs and SoftLayer are a perfect fit. We are passionate about emerging companies and have the best platform for social media,” says Paul Ford, Vice President of Community Development for SoftLayer. “Our range of services presents the right size solution for any startup as it begins. And we provide a foundation like no other for scaling operations in the short and long terms, including cloud and dedicated services integrated into a seamless environment with just one management system. No one else truly offers what we do.”
PeopleBrowsr will be announcing other relationships with major brand partners over the next few months.
Startups can apply now at http://www.peoplebrowsr.com/labs. For more information on PeopleBrowsr Labs, including images and video of the space, please contact startup@peoplebrowsr.com.
