The first question asked was: "Is it just me, or is this not a "program" but a sponsorship of other incubators?"

No problem buddy. The Startup Program is something we all have a real passion for because of our individual backgrounds and how Rackspace got started.

Since the others have a 'process' for what constitutes a good idea, business plan, marketing plan, etc.. what we will be doing is bringing some of that internally where our team does the same thing for bootstraps. It's exciting stuff and we are trying to include everyone.

Good example too. Here is one way we provided mentorship just last weekend with 3 Day Startup, Trinity University students & young professionals - http://bit.ly/kMZrqM

Great question. We are providing hosting services and/or coaching to Startups that are qualified through a few channels. Incubators/VC's/Universities/Bootstraps. It did start with Incubators a few months back but the others will be reflected on the site very soon in more detail.
