Startup Platform Plug and Play Plans Expansion to Seattle
Plug and Play, a Silicon Valley-based platform that connects startups, corporations, venture capital firms, universities, and government agencies, has collaborated with SBI Holdings, Inc., and SNBL to establish Plug and Play’s first presence in the Greater Seattle region.
The expansion includes two new offices in the region, with locations at the SNBL Global Gateway business incubation facility in Everett, Washington, and at CoMotion Labs technology incubator on the University of Washington’s Seattle campus.
This collaboration also includes Plug and Play’s participation in the newly launched SBI US Gateway Fund. The $40 million fund focuses on early-stage startups in North America across the artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, climate technology, supply chain, and healthcare sectors.
“We are thrilled to bring Plug and Play’s innovation platform to Seattle in partnership with SBI Holdings, SNBL, and the University of Washington,” said Saeed Amidi, Founder & CEO at Plug and Play. “The Pacific Northwest is home to a dynamic and rapidly growing tech ecosystem, and we are excited to contribute to this community by supporting the next generation of innovative companies.”
