Description :RHIT students are interested in initiating businesses with their own ideas, but many lack the necessary knowledge to do so. The students who want to learn more about entrepreneurship can through an Accelerator Program. There is no reason for students to wait until after graduation when an accelerator can provide students with workspace, functional workshops on how to incorporate, how to divide equity, how to handle intellectual property, and finally the networks and connections to start a business while in school. The accelerator will provide students with an entrepreneurial community and support needed from initial inventigation and exploration of a concept to launch and growth.
