StartX, the accelerator of Stanford University, announces new wave of graduate startups and other info about recent operations.

Stanford University affiliated accelerator StartX has made a wave of announcements, including a new wave of startups to graduate from its programme, new headquarters, recent acquisitions of StartX-affiliated firms, and early results of the Stanford StartX fund.

The fund, an uncapped fund launched by Stanford last year to support graduates of the student-founded accelerator, has made 29 investments in StartX companies since September totalling $13m.

The accelerator will also be moving to a new home within walking distance of Stanford University. Designed to foster collaboration and innovation, StartX’s new 13,000 square foot home is in the final stages of construction, and the accelerator is due to move next month.
