The nine-month program provides technology startups with office space and legal services, including assistance with valuation and intellectual property protection

Procopio's expansion to occupy the third and fourth floors of its Del Mar Heights office will allow it to accept more startups into its tech incubator, LaunchPad.

After expanding its offices earlier last fall, Procopio is hosting five startups at its Launchpad incubator at the firm’s Del Mar Heights location. The nine-month program provides technology startups with office space and legal services, including assistance with valuation and intellectual property protection.

“Our LaunchPad incubator draws high caliber applicants, and our current class is the cream of the crop,” Procopio Managing Partner John Alessio said in a news release. “We’re thrilled to support such an incredible group of creative entrepreneurs in their earliest stages of company growth.”
