Facebook gets the Nut

Techcrunch has just announced the 20 winners of the fbFund, headed by startup rockstar Dave McClure (who you should all be following on twitter). One of our own homegrown startups & Houston Technology Center client, NutshellMail made the final cut and received another $25K to go with the first $1K they got for making the Top 50. The real benefit for the company is that they get to participate in the brand new Facebook Incubator program modeled on ‘Seed Combinator‘ programs like Y Combinator, TechStars and Austin’s own (and one I’m involved with personally) Capital Factory , called REV. NutshellMail founders Mark Schmulen, David Lyman and David Neubauer are heading to Palo Alto in the middle of June to take part in intensive mentoring sessions and network with Silicon Valley’s best and brightest over the summer. Congratulations to these hard-working guys who are making Houston proud.
