We previously reported in early December that LAUNCHub had named its initial 6 investees and now they’re announcing the next batch. Backed by 9 million euro, LAUNCHub is one of the larger startup accelerators in Bulgaria. Only Eleven and its 12 million euro is larger at the moment. As we wrote back in June 2012, both are backed by the Jeremie program.
