&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Overview&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;As a leadership circle we came together to discuss the changes we would like to see on campus. We were all very passionate with the areas we decided to work on. Overall we noticed how many resources Menlo College needs. As students of change we did research, created a prototype, tested our prototype, and came together. Here are our strategic priorities for this year.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:large;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #1: Remodeling Senior Capstone Course “Launching the Venture”&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A relatively new course called Design Thinking brings the design thinking process onto Menlo College Campus for first time in Fall 2017. In this class, students work on problems/customer-jobs-to-be-done in the society, while brainstorming processes, and creating multiple iterations of &amp;amp;nbsp;prototypes. And as a &amp;amp;nbsp;results of these processes, we get wonderful ideas that, if implemented, would be not only sustainable but also profitable.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;However, students have no outlet for these class projects to become actual startups. One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;How Might We&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;provide Menlo College students, who are serious entrepreneurs and have great ideas, the resources–mentorship, connections, and fundings–they need to launch their startups, without breaking Menlo’s bank?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After investigating the problems more closely, we came up with an idea to remodel the existing senior capstone course: Launching the Venture. The non-serious entrepreneurs are the first factors that we need to address. To do that, we must encourage more entrepreneurship students to enroll in the class, while the non-entrepreneurship students who do not wish to have anything to do with startups are encouraged to enrolled in the other senior capstone course: Global Strategy. This doesn’t mean that accounting, finance, psychology, etc. students are not allowed to enrolled in the class, but they must show some type of initiative that proves that they are genuine about launching their own ventures. The initiatives may be the fact that they have been working on their startups for some time, and they are looking for a way to start out. Which leads to the next big change that would be introduced to Launching the Venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Students should begin the course with pre-existing ideas that they are passionate in pursuing. Students who have been independently working on their startup ideas and those coming out of Design Thinking with great ideas are the perfect candidates for Launching the Venture. We came up with the idea to remodel the curriculum structure by making Design Thinking a prerequisite to Launching the Venture. Again, this prerequisite should be waived if students or teams of students show that they have feasible business ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The remodeling of the course is not enough. These students will also need more more valuable resources, including mentorship, connections, and funding, in order for them to launch their ventures. We need an accelerator program that is effective in guiding these entrepreneurs into the right path, while at the same time, does not break Menlo College’s bank, as our financial resources are very limited. That challenge could be easily overcome because the school only needs to hire 2-3 people to run the accelerator department, where they invite mentors to work with the students, provide outside connections that students can reach out to, and most importantly, coordinate a final pitching stage, where various angel investors are invited, to attend the student’s final pitch, where they will present the business plans they have been refining for a semester.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp of the education curriculum. Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Student’s currently have major options in Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Sports Management, International Management, Human Resources, and Real Estate. The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence &amp;amp; Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business &amp;amp; Technology &amp;amp; Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is currently used as a classroom/meeting space but we will create a program based on the “Pursue” and “Spinout” components of the Landscape Canvas. We have come together with a Fellow from last year to coordinate and create a model for this program. It will serve students by giving them access to startup resources. This will enable students to &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;commit to an opportunity provided by Menlo. We want more connections like GSVLabs brought to campus while also utilizing our Alumni and Professors mentorship. The program will provide &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;regional sources of capital, mentoring, advisory, and business networks.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This will &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;use students intellectual property to attract venture capital, grow entrepreneurial skills and develop a culture of innovation on campus. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our vision is to make Menlo a place where students can come in with ideas and truly develop them in the Silicon Valley ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #1: Creating Space for Creativity&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #2: Bringing Awareness to On-Campus Resources&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Overview&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; text-align: justify;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;As a leadership circle we came together to discuss the changes we would like to see on campus. We were all very passionate with the areas we decided to work on. Overall we noticed how many resources Menlo College needs. As students of change we did research, created a prototype, tested our prototype, and came together. Here are our strategic priorities for this year.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:large;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #1: Remodeling Senior Capstone Course “Launching the Venture”&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A relatively new course called Design Thinking brings the design thinking process onto Menlo College Campus for first time in Fall 2017. In this class, students work on problems/customer-jobs-to-be-done in the society, while brainstorming processes, and creating multiple iterations of &amp;amp;nbsp;prototypes. And as a &amp;amp;nbsp;results of these processes, we get wonderful ideas that, if implemented, would be not only sustainable but also profitable.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;However, students have no outlet for these class projects to become actual startups. One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;How Might We&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;provide Menlo College students, who are serious entrepreneurs and have great ideas, the resources–mentorship, connections, and fundings–they need to launch their startups, without breaking Menlo’s bank?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After investigating the problems more closely, we came up with an idea to remodel the existing senior capstone course: Launching the Venture. The non-serious entrepreneurs are the first factors that we need to address. To do that, we must encourage more entrepreneurship students to enroll in the class, while the non-entrepreneurship students who do not wish to have anything to do with startups are encouraged to enrolled in the other senior capstone course: Global Strategy. This doesn’t mean that accounting, finance, psychology, etc. students are not allowed to enrolled in the class, but they must show some type of initiative that proves that they are genuine about launching their own ventures. The initiatives may be the fact that they have been working on their startups for some time, and they are looking for a way to start out. Which leads to the next big change that would be introduced to Launching the Venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Students should begin the course with pre-existing ideas that they are passionate in pursuing. Students who have been independently working on their startup ideas and those coming out of Design Thinking with great ideas are the perfect candidates for Launching the Venture. We came up with the idea to remodel the curriculum structure by making Design Thinking a prerequisite to Launching the Venture. Again, this prerequisite should be waived if students or teams of students show that they have feasible business ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The remodeling of the course is not enough. These students will also need more more valuable resources, including mentorship, connections, and funding, in order for them to launch their ventures. We need an accelerator program that is effective in guiding these entrepreneurs into the right path, while at the same time, does not break Menlo College’s bank, as our financial resources are very limited. That challenge could be easily overcome because the school only needs to hire 2-3 people to run the accelerator department, where they invite mentors to work with the students, provide outside connections that students can reach out to, and most importantly, coordinate a final pitching stage, where various angel investors are invited, to attend the student’s final pitch, where they will present the business plans they have been refining for a semester.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp of the education curriculum. Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Student’s currently have major options in Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Sports Management, International Management, Human Resources, and Real Estate. The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence &amp;amp; Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business &amp;amp; Technology &amp;amp; Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is currently used as a classroom/meeting space but we will create a program based on the “Pursue” and “Spinout” components of the Landscape Canvas. We have come together with a Fellow from last year to coordinate and create a model for this program. It will serve students by giving them access to startup resources. This will enable students to &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;commit to an opportunity provided by Menlo. We want more connections like GSVLabs brought to campus while also utilizing our Alumni and Professors mentorship. The program will provide &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;regional sources of capital, mentoring, advisory, and business networks.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This will &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;use students intellectual property to attract venture capital, grow entrepreneurial skills and develop a culture of innovation on campus. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our vision is to make Menlo a place where students can come in with ideas and truly develop them in the Silicon Valley ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #2: Bringing Awareness to On-Campus Resources&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Overview&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;

We were all very passionate with the areas we decided to work on. Overall we noticed how many resources Menlo College needs. As students of change we did research, created a prototype, tested our prototype, and came together. Here are our strategic priorities for this year.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A relatively new course called Design Thinking brings the design thinking process onto Menlo College Campus for first time in Fall 2017. In this class, students work on problems/customer-jobs-to-be-done in the society, while brainstorming processes, and creating multiple iterations of &amp;amp;nbsp;prototypes. And as a &amp;amp;nbsp;results of these processes, we get wonderful ideas that, if implemented, would be not only sustainable but also profitable.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;However, students have no outlet for these class projects to become actual startups. One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;provide Menlo College students, who are serious entrepreneurs and have great ideas, the resources–mentorship, connections, and fundings–they need to launch their startups, without breaking Menlo’s bank?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After investigating the problems more closely, we came up with an idea to remodel the existing senior capstone course: Launching the Venture. The non-serious entrepreneurs are the first factors that we need to address. To do that, we must encourage more entrepreneurship students to enroll in the class, while the non-entrepreneurship students who do not wish to have anything to do with startups are encouraged to enrolled in the other senior capstone course: Global Strategy. This doesn’t mean that accounting, finance, psychology, etc. students are not allowed to enrolled in the class, but they must show some type of initiative that proves that they are genuine about launching their own ventures. The initiatives may be the fact that they have been working on their startups for some time, and they are looking for a way to start out. Which leads to the next big change that would be introduced to Launching the Venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Students should begin the course with pre-existing ideas that they are passionate in pursuing. Students who have been independently working on their startup ideas and those coming out of Design Thinking with great ideas are the perfect candidates for Launching the Venture. We came up with the idea to remodel the curriculum structure by making Design Thinking a prerequisite to Launching the Venture. Again, this prerequisite should be waived if students or teams of students show that they have feasible business ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The remodeling of the course is not enough. These students will also need more more valuable resources, including mentorship, connections, and funding, in order for them to launch their ventures. We need an accelerator program that is effective in guiding these entrepreneurs into the right path, while at the same time, does not break Menlo College’s bank, as our financial resources are very limited. That challenge could be easily overcome because the school only needs to hire 2-3 people to run the accelerator department, where they invite mentors to work with the students, provide outside connections that students can reach out to, and most importantly, coordinate a final pitching stage, where various angel investors are invited, to attend the student’s final pitch, where they will present the business plans they have been refining for a semester.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Student’s currently have major options in Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Sports Management, International Management, Human Resources, and Real Estate. The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence &amp;amp; Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business &amp;amp; Technology &amp;amp; Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is currently used as a classroom/meeting space but we will create a program based on the “Pursue” and “Spinout” components of the Landscape Canvas. We have come together with a Fellow from last year to coordinate and create a model for this program. It will serve students by giving them access to startup resources. This will enable students to &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;commit to an opportunity provided by Menlo.

The program will provide &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;regional sources of capital, mentoring, advisory, and business networks.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;This will &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;use students intellectual property to attract venture capital, grow entrepreneurial skills and develop a culture of innovation on campus. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our vision is to make Menlo a place where students can come in with ideas and truly develop them in the Silicon Valley ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #2: Bringing Awareness to On-Campus Resources&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A relatively new course called Design Thinking brings the design thinking process onto Menlo College Campus for first time in Fall 2017. In this class, students work on problems/customer-jobs-to-be-done in the society, while brainstorming processes, and creating multiple iterations of &amp;amp;nbsp;prototypes. And as a &amp;amp;nbsp;results of these processes, we get wonderful ideas that, if implemented, would be not only sustainable but also profitable.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;However, students have no outlet for these class projects to become actual startups. One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;provide Menlo College students, who are serious entrepreneurs and have great ideas, the resources–mentorship, connections, and fundings–they need to launch their startups, without breaking Menlo’s bank?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After investigating the problems more closely, we came up with an idea to remodel the existing senior capstone course: Launching the Venture. The non-serious entrepreneurs are the first factors that we need to address. To do that, we must encourage more entrepreneurship students to enroll in the class, while the non-entrepreneurship students who do not wish to have anything to do with startups are encouraged to enrolled in the other senior capstone course: Global Strategy. This doesn’t mean that accounting, finance, psychology, etc. students are not allowed to enrolled in the class, but they must show some type of initiative that proves that they are genuine about launching their own ventures. The initiatives may be the fact that they have been working on their startups for some time, and they are looking for a way to start out. Which leads to the next big change that would be introduced to Launching the Venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Students should begin the course with pre-existing ideas that they are passionate in pursuing. Students who have been independently working on their startup ideas and those coming out of Design Thinking with great ideas are the perfect candidates for Launching the Venture. We came up with the idea to remodel the curriculum structure by making Design Thinking a prerequisite to Launching the Venture. Again, this prerequisite should be waived if students or teams of students show that they have feasible business ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The remodeling of the course is not enough. These students will also need more more valuable resources, including mentorship, connections, and funding, in order for them to launch their ventures. We need an accelerator program that is effective in guiding these entrepreneurs into the right path, while at the same time, does not break Menlo College’s bank, as our financial resources are very limited. That challenge could be easily overcome because the school only needs to hire 2-3 people to run the accelerator department, where they invite mentors to work with the students, provide outside connections that students can reach out to, and most importantly, coordinate a final pitching stage, where various angel investors are invited, to attend the student’s final pitch, where they will present the business plans they have been refining for a semester.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence &amp;amp; Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business &amp;amp; Technology &amp;amp; Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is currently used as a classroom/meeting space but we will create a program based on the “Pursue” and “Spinout” components of the Landscape Canvas. We have come together with a Fellow from last year to coordinate and create a model for this program. It will serve students by giving them access to startup resources.

Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A relatively new course called Design Thinking brings the design thinking process onto Menlo College Campus for first time in Fall 2017. In this class, students work on problems/customer-jobs-to-be-done in the society, while brainstorming processes, and creating multiple iterations of &amp;amp;nbsp;prototypes. And as a &amp;amp;nbsp;results of these processes, we get wonderful ideas that, if implemented, would be not only sustainable but also profitable.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;However, students have no outlet for these class projects to become actual startups. One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;provide Menlo College students, who are serious entrepreneurs and have great ideas, the resources–mentorship, connections, and fundings–they need to launch their startups, without breaking Menlo’s bank?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After investigating the problems more closely, we came up with an idea to remodel the existing senior capstone course: Launching the Venture. The non-serious entrepreneurs are the first factors that we need to address. To do that, we must encourage more entrepreneurship students to enroll in the class, while the non-entrepreneurship students who do not wish to have anything to do with startups are encouraged to enrolled in the other senior capstone course: Global Strategy. This doesn’t mean that accounting, finance, psychology, etc. students are not allowed to enrolled in the class, but they must show some type of initiative that proves that they are genuine about launching their own ventures. The initiatives may be the fact that they have been working on their startups for some time, and they are looking for a way to start out. Which leads to the next big change that would be introduced to Launching the Venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Students should begin the course with pre-existing ideas that they are passionate in pursuing. Students who have been independently working on their startup ideas and those coming out of Design Thinking with great ideas are the perfect candidates for Launching the Venture. We came up with the idea to remodel the curriculum structure by making Design Thinking a prerequisite to Launching the Venture. Again, this prerequisite should be waived if students or teams of students show that they have feasible business ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The remodeling of the course is not enough. These students will also need more more valuable resources, including mentorship, connections, and funding, in order for them to launch their ventures. We need an accelerator program that is effective in guiding these entrepreneurs into the right path, while at the same time, does not break Menlo College’s bank, as our financial resources are very limited. That challenge could be easily overcome because the school only needs to hire 2-3 people to run the accelerator department, where they invite mentors to work with the students, provide outside connections that students can reach out to, and most importantly, coordinate a final pitching stage, where various angel investors are invited, to attend the student’s final pitch, where they will present the business plans they have been refining for a semester.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Student’s currently have major options in Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Sports Management, International Management, Human Resources, and Real Estate. The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence &amp;amp; Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business &amp;amp; Technology &amp;amp; Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is currently used as a classroom/meeting space but we will create a program based on the “Pursue” and “Spinout” components of the Landscape Canvas. We have come together with a Fellow from last year to coordinate and create a model for this program. It will serve students by giving them access to startup resources. This will enable students to &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;commit to an opportunity provided by Menlo.

Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&lt;br /&gt;

We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

He began a club with 3 friends living in the same dorm, which has since grown to 50+ members. The club called BLOC (Black Leaders On Campus) serves to help underrepresented students gain access to higher education, so far they have reached over 1,000 students in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Sachal also works for the college as a Peer Mentor in helping first year students with their transition into college. While working on these activities he was introduced to the University Innovation Fellows, where he hopes to add technology to a business focused curriculum. Sachal wants to create an everlasting impact on the world through each person he encounters with.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #1: Creating Space for Creativity&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #2: Bringing Awareness to On-Campus Resources ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #1: Creating Space for Creativity&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space.&amp;amp;nbsp; That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We would stake out a location on campus and during certain parts of the day, we would set up an outside creative space. We would have a shed nearby that contains chairs, tables, white boards, music speakers, bean bags. We would also have a crate that is full of resources for the students, markers, sticky notes, pens, some days we would bring pizza, fresh fruit, and beverages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; We feel that a creative space outside, with the trees, fresh air, and something that would offer a new scene rather than be inside, like every classroom, would ignite more creative thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #2: Bringing Awareness to On-Campus Resources ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College has a limited of already established, on-campus resources related to entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the resources Menlo currently provides its students with are underutilized. One area students should utilize more is the Oral and Communications center. Next, by adding a specific space for innovation on campus, students will be able to have an area to cultivate their own business ventures. In addition, clubs and other campus organizations can put on events and skill-building workshops in our space for innovation on campus. This will bring students together and excit them to pursue their entrepreneurial visions. Another area of interest could be partnering with the Academic Success Center, where we could organize game night challenges related to acamdeia and have peer tutors as well as other faculy be guest judges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #3: Strengthening Curriculum and On-Campus Clubs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College is currently undergoing a revamp in part of their education curriculum, specifically in regards to the entrepreneurship major. A committee at Menlo is thinking about possibly developing a course at Menlo that would combine aspects of &amp;quot;social innovation&amp;quot; (improving society) and entrepreneurship, with the goal of eventually incorporating it in other classes. One concept that would be covered in this potential &amp;quot;social innovation entrepeneurship&amp;quot; course is using entrepreurship to solve problems with California's affordable housing crisis or climate change.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another idea that is being discussed at Menlo is incorporating &amp;quot;themes&amp;quot; into the curriculum to help students find and develop their personal passions with business - if you like technology, you would take &amp;quot;technology entrepreneurship&amp;quot;. Another idea is combining some class, so biology would combine with a business course to become &amp;quot;biotechnology&amp;quot; or something.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy #4: Business Vocabulary and other skills necessary for business ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UIF gives us the perfect platform to be able to share what we are about. The fact that Menlo College is located in the heart of Silicon Valley means that we are surrounded by all types of business. Design think is a great tool we have been able to use, and as a group we have identified different areas our campus needs work on. This tool is not only perfect for our campus, but it is also a great skill to take onto the workforce. A way to teach the new vocabulary and skills would be to host annual events and workshops that would enable our students to have a much more in depth and better understanding of what it means to empathize, research, analyze, prototype, and most importantly, will teach students not to be afraid of failure.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Overview[[File:26b5a8f0-ce68-4efd-ad52-1736e235f6bcc6d58a01-7ac9-4445-ae8d-5238cfce40a7.jpg|thumb]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College is a small private school located in Atherton, California with a little over 800 students. Menlo College offers degrees in business, as well as a degree in psychology that has a business focuse. Being in the heart of Silicon Valley, Menlo College provides its students a unique approach to business: being able to see and learn about companies, such as Facebook and Google, who are just a short drive away from our campus. However, because Menlo College is such a small college, we lack many resources needed for innovation. Having the influence of such great entrepreneurial businesses around us is not enough to implement our own ideas as students without the necessary materials, mentors and an area to foster creativity. Therefore, the UIF Leadership Circle of Menlo College looks forward to identifying the gaps in our ecosystem, which need to be strengthen in order for Menlo College students to fully embrace entrepreneurship and innovation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Student Entrepreneurship ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College students are passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation; except, there are only minimal assets for them to utilize on campus. Entrepreneruship is offered as a major for those pursuing a business degree and is a growing major at Menlo College. The large presence of clubs on campus gives students the extracurricular opportunities to explore their areas of interest, such as the Pioneer Club, an organization strictly designed for entrepreneurs and creative thinkers alike. Menlo College Office of Career Services hosts a number of career orientated workshops, such as how to create a cover letter and resume workshop to learning how to set up a Linkedin profile; these are just a few of the events Menlo College offers to support entrepreneurship in their studnts. In addition, this was the first year Menlo participated in the Hult Prize competition, a start-up accelorator for social entrepreneruship. With the success of this competition, Menlo College is looking to expand on-campus challenges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being in the heart of the Silicon Valley, most of our faculty members are not only professors, they have either experience in the world of business or are currently in the work force.&amp;amp;nbsp;Many professors share their entrepreneurial experiences in class, whether it is indirect or directly tied to entrepreneurship.&amp;amp;nbsp; Menlo College students are grateful to be backed by administration and faculty, who see the potential and need for expansion into entrepreneurship and innovation on campus&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== University Technology Transfer Function ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our school does not have a technology transfer office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== University - Industry Collaboration ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an undergraduate school, Menlo College does not host the amount of research as a gradaute univeristy. Many professors conduct research, furthering their professional area of study, but there work is not directly linked to students. As a possible solution, Menlo College can partner in collaboration efforts with Stanford University and other local univerisities for students to see and utilize the resources in their surrounding environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Regional and Local Economic Development ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menlo College has a very low regional and local ecomonic development. Possibly due to the fact that our campus and its students do not have access to a specific entrepreneruship deparment or designated leader. There is a lack of awareness surrounding entrepreneruship and innovation on campus. Ultimately, this deprives students from pursuing their innovative business ideas as well as learning the steps to fully develop their ideas.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded.

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

= Steps Required To Bring Resources To Campus =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The great thing about Kickstarter is that is is open to everyone.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Projects on come from artists, designers, and creative people all over. They may be modest or ambitious, new ideas, or classic ideas with a twist. Every project is unique and is something that someone wants to exist in the world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: larger; color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;75% of submissions have been accepted.

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The categories with the lowest acceptance rates are Design, Food, and Technology. That's because they're also the broadest categories. Their names alone encompass pretty much everything in the known universe, so we have a few additional guidelines to define what they mean on Kickstarter.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As a sophomore in high school he interned for a non-profit, The Bay Area Tutoring Association, where he helped assist with code writing programs for kids all throughout the south bay. After a couple years he was then offered a position at a full-service business hotel, The San Jose Marriott where he currently works as a Front Desk Host and an At Your Service Agent.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He began a club with 3 friends living in the same dorm, which has since grown to 50+ members. The club called BLOC (Black Leaders On Campus) serves to help underrepresented students gain access to higher education, so far they have reached over 1,000 students in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Sachal also works for the college as a Peer Mentor in helping first year students with their transition into college. While working on these activities he was introduced to the University Innovation Fellows, where he hopes to add technology to a business focused curriculum. Sachal wants to create an everlasting impact on the world through each person he encounters with.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The great thing about Kickstarter is that is is open to everyone.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Projects on come from artists, designers, and creative people all over.

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

Combining a focus on context-driven, investigative stories with the use of new and exciting media, Muckgers' goal is two-pronged: to serve as a premier outlet for Rutgers-related news and analysis on the one hand, while simultaneously redefining the way we approach campus media on the other. Thanks to Kickstarter, they were able to surpass their $450 goal.

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kickstarter.jpg|border|Kickstarter.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Everything from films, games, and music&amp;amp;nbsp;to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since their launch on April 28, 2009, over&amp;amp;nbsp;$850 million has been pledged by more than&amp;amp;nbsp;[http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/five-million-backers 5 million people], funding more than 50,000 creative projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Purpose =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13);  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  font-size: 22px;  line-height: 28.600000381469727px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kickstarter is an independent company of 75 people based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City. They spend their time making Kickstarter a little bit better every day by answering questions from backers and creators as well as finding new projects to share. If a project is successfully funded an apa 5% fee is applied to the funds collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kickstarter, they believe that creative projects make for a better world and they are thrilled to help support new ones. Building a community of backers around an idea is an amazing way to make something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Distinct Differences From Other Offereings =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of creative projects are funding on Kickstarter at any given moment. Each project is independently created and crafted by the person behind it.&amp;amp;nbsp;The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have&amp;amp;nbsp;complete control and responsibility over their projects.&amp;amp;nbsp;They spend weeks&amp;amp;nbsp;building&amp;amp;nbsp;their project pages, shooting their videos, and&amp;amp;nbsp;brainstorming&amp;amp;nbsp;what&amp;amp;nbsp;rewards to offer backers.&amp;amp;nbsp;When they're ready, creators launch their project and share it with their community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.&amp;amp;nbsp;If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project succeeds&amp;amp;nbsp;in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged&amp;amp;nbsp;when time expires.&amp;amp;nbsp;If the project falls short, no one is charged.&amp;amp;nbsp;Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why is funding all-or-nothing?&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;faq_answer&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin: 0px;  padding: 0px;  border: 0px;  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif;  line-height: 24px;  font-size: 16px;  vertical-align: baseline;  color: rgb(18, 26, 13)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All-or-nothing funding is a core part of Kickstarter and it has a number of advantages:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It's less risk for everyone.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If you need $5,000, it's tough having $1,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It motivates.''&amp;amp;nbsp;If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''It works.&amp;amp;nbsp;''Of the projects that have reached 20% of their funding goal, 81% were successfully funded. Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.&amp;amp;nbsp;Projects either make their goal or find little support. There's little in-between.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:smaller&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To date, an incredible 44% of projects have reached&amp;amp;nbsp;their&amp;amp;nbsp;funding goals.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kickstarter Live&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Kickstarter now offers a further option for creators that they call “Kickstarter Live”. With this new feature, creators may offer a live feed for their backers and/or potential backers on their page. While using Kickstarter Live, creators can, for example, show their backers a new stage of their work or process. According to Kickstarter, this feature was added to their website to bring communities closer together.&lt;br /&gt;

= Steps Required To Bring Resources To Campus =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The great thing about Kickstarter is that is is open to everyone.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Projects on come from artists, designers, and creative people all over. They may be modest or ambitious, new ideas, or classic ideas with a twist. Every project is unique and is something that someone wants to exist in the world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: larger; color: rgb(18, 26, 13); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;75% of submissions have been accepted.

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:larger;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The categories with the lowest acceptance rates are Design, Food, and Technology. That's because they're also the broadest categories.
