An anonymous reader writes: After dipping their toe into the virtual reality water with investments in three VR startups across 2013 and 2014, the San Francisco based Rothenberg Ventures (http://bit.ly/1AOwZrF) is getting serious, today launching the 'River' VR accelerator program which will begin by investing $1 million across 10 early-stage virtual reality startups (http://bit.ly/1zI1TE3). The company is accepting open applications starting today. In addition to a cash influx of $100,000 per company, the River accelerator offers its participants coworking space in Rothenberg's 8000 square foot office in SOMA, SF, and weekly meetings with an impressive roster of virtual reality luminaries from companies like AltspaceVR (http://bit.ly/1C9gs5C), Sixense (http://bit.ly/1cCQ5rJ), and SVVR (http://bit.ly/1zI2tBA), and seasoned business minds from the likes of HP, Zynga, and Dropbox.
