BusinessWeek today reported on Team UpStart’s work with Best Buy last summer.  Jeremy Sevush, one of the dozen or so Best Buy employees who got a chance to create new businesses of their own through the UpStart program, was interviewed about the new business he and his team, Jon Hogan and Jay Sullivan, created – Best Buy Studio.

Here’s the link to the article.

Reena Jana did a terrific job reporting on the program.  The Web version was edited down considerably and focused on the ‘living together’ aspect of the program.  For a full account of how the program works, check out this video.

And here’s the link for contact info on Team UpStart.

Best Buy Studio may not be the only one of last summer’s projects to make it all the way to becoming a new business.  We’re working right now on funding a new free-standing startup based on another team’s project.  Stay tuned and cross your fingers!

Team UpStart’s dream is to see projects from dozens of companies running in our location at Sunnyvale’s Plug and Play Tech Center.  We want young teams of corporate entrepreneurs living together, building relationships, and proving their dreams.  If you are a company with entrepreneurial people that just need a short amount of time and a little money to make great things happen, consider Team UpStart.
