		<description>Hey Rob,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DayOne Ventures is actually not a university-affiliated seed accelerator. This program, despite its location at Virginia Tech&#039;s Corporate Research Center, is an independent company that accepts applications from individuals of any age from anywhere. This is an incredible list by the way. Thanks for all of your effort in making this directory for everyone!</description>

		<description>Please remove Portland Ten from this list. They don&#039;t fund companies. They are like a school where YOU PAY THEM.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They come off as a startup funder but then you read the fine print.</description>
