(2011-09-15) General Assembly Funding

General Assembly, a Start Up Incubator that hosts entrepreneurship classes for the community, announced a $4.25 million round of funding and a partnership with General Electric today. In addition, Business Insider has learned that the four founders have been looking into two more retail spaces, one in midtown Manhattan and another abroad, most likely in London.

John Graci thinks of this as the first real shot fired in what is going to become a huge wave of disruption around the world: the disruption of higher education (College Education) by CoWorking spaces, accelerators and incubators.
