Founders Space’s long-time partner, SOMAcentral, has just opened a new location in Uptown Oakland. They’re in a classic art deco building at the corner of 22nd & Broadway. This area has become quite popular in the past couple of years.
They are just 2 blocks from the 19th St BART station, so it’s very convenient for teams located throughout the Bay Area.
A couple other interesting notes:
– 99 Designs recently moved from SF to the same building
– Uber has bought a building nearby, which they’ll open in 2017 to house 2000+ employees
We want to congratulate Mike Xu, a Founders Space alumni, for closing $10M for his startup GrubMarket.

The Innovation Nanshan “Entrepreneurship Star” Contest is an annually-held large-sized selection activity not only focusing on local Nanshan, but also opening up to the whole world, which is hosted by Shenzhen Nanshan District People’s Government and the Science & Technology Commission of Shenzhen Municipality.
It’s organized by Nanshan District Science Technology and Innovation Bureau and Nanshan District Hi-tech Incubator Service Center, supported by ‘Get In Tech’salon, Nanshan Incubator Alliance and Innovation Nanshan Entrepreneurship Investment Alliance, aiming at “Encouraging innovation and supporting venturing”.
Since the 1st session of “Entrepreneurship Star” Contest held in 2008, its influence and coverage has been further expanded and become the platform of projects selection for many venture capital institutions as well as the platform of competition for entrepreneurs.
