Triangle startups will soon have a temporary home in Silicon Valley – the “American Underground Foxhole.”

Red Hat is making another move to support technology startups in the Triangle, announcing Tuesday that it will make office space available at its offices in Silicon Valley to firms associated with the American Underground in Raleigh and Durham.

They have dubbed it the Foxhole.

Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and the Underground announced the partnership at the Council for Entrepreneurial Development’s Tech Venture Conference in Raleigh.

The latest move by Raleigh-based Red Hat, a global provider of Linux operating system services, follows recent decisions to offer support for a new business incubator being established at the headquarters of Citrix Sharefile in the Capital City.

Red Hat also is an investor in the new Bull City Ventures venture capital firm, which focuses on early-stage startup deals. Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst announced the Underground program while leading a panel discussion at the CED event.

The partnership with the Underground and other efforts reflect Red Hat’s commitment to building the region’s “business ecosystem,” Red Hat Chief People Officer DeLisa Alexander told WRAL TechWire.

“Our team at Red Hat expects to support the (Citrix) Innovators Program in a broad variety of ways. We will be providing mentorship, facilitation, sponsorship and programming. We are prepared to contribute in a flexible and agile way, that meets the needs of the entrepreneurs selected for the program,” Alexander explained.

“Our goal is to meaningfully connect with participants and enable their success as much as possible. Red Hat has a strong North Carolina history, starting here more than 20 years ago. In that time, we’ve enjoyed tremendous success and have found the area to be rich with talent, skill, and ability.

“We feel a keen responsibility to foster innovation and entrepreneurism in this region and support our local business ecosystem. By making this space available to Triangle entrepreneurs when they are traveling to Silicon Valley, we hope to make it a little bit easier to bring their products and services to market. We’ve grown to be a global company headquartered in Raleigh, and we’re excited to extend the reach of our local entrepreneurs and help when and where we can.”

Louise Chapman, Red Hat’s Global Senior Manager for Workplace Planning, said Red Hat will not charge Triangle startups for using its Silicon Valley facilities.

“We’ll be providing entrepreneurs with access to work stations, meeting enclaves, and conference rooms typically used for Red Hat customer meetings. In these spaces, visiting entrepreneurs will have access to refreshments including coffee, tea, and water. Entrepreneurs visiting the Red Hat Mountain View office will have to schedule their visit in advance with our Mountain View office manager. There are no fees associated with their use of the space or visit,” Chapman said.

However, there are some limits on how the space can be used.

“At this time, entrepreneurs will not be able to use the space for meetings with clients or investors, but this is something we may revisit should the demand require,” Chapman said. “We’re excited to collaborate with the entrepreneurs from the American Underground and look forward to providing them a great work space when visiting Silicon Valley.”

The American Underground is operated by Capitol Broadcasting, the parent company of WRAL TechWire and WRAL.com.
