Business Wire
Citrix Systems today announced that it is opening the Citrix
Startup Accelerator Center, a new facility for its Silicon
Valley-based seed investment initiative. Focused on
entrepreneur-led innovation, the Startup Accelerator looks
for technologies and business models that have the potential to
enable new capabilities in areas such as virtualization, cloud,
mobility, networking, security, storage, collaboration and SaaS.
The initiative provides seed investments to select start-ups from
around the world, enabling them to benefit from the global Citrix
presence, its entrepreneur-friendly environment, large customer
base and seasoned go-to-market strategies. Now, Startup Accelerator
companies can also leverage a top-notch facility in the heart of
Silicon Valley that acts as a nerve center for inspiration,
collaboration and mentorship.
The Future of Technology
Since launching the program in December 2010, the program has
announced investments in seven innovative companies that are poised
to change the face of cloud, mobile and virtualization
technologies:
- Core Mobile – Mobilize the cloud –
untether the business
- Drumbi – Enabling smart calls from
smart phones
- Graymatics – Digital media sensing at
cloud scale
- GridCentric – Desktop virtualization
with one-third the server costs
- Nukona – Enterprise mobile app
management made easy
- Primadesk – Search manage and protect
your personal online content
- One World Virtual – True to life
virtual meetings
The program expects to announce up to five more new investments
this year as a result of the recent Citrix Startup Accelerator
Global Challenge.
Quote
Martin Duursma, VP of Citrix Labs and Chair of the Citrix CTO
Office
“When we launched the Startup Accelerator program just nine
months ago, we expected our seed investments to help place us at
the forefront of industry trends, while balancing internal and
external innovation. With seven – and counting – startups in the
portfolio, we have had the opportunity to spur some of the hottest
technologies in mobility, cloud computing and virtualization. We
anticipate this growing program will not only positively impact
Citrix, our customers and our ecosystem, but also the future of
technology.”
