In 2012 Wes launched a startup incubator called BetaBlox in his hometown of Kansas City. Through the incubator, Bergmann and partners have made dozens of investments in startups, typically receiving somewhere in the range of 5% of the company's equity in exchange.
According to a profile in Money.com, BetaBlox has invested in more than 200 companies.
