<span style="font-size:mediumsmall;">Providing Budding Entrepreneurs There are many resources on campus provided by entreprenurship@UBC to enable new ventures to connect with Validation mentorship and Capital potential customers, however, access to capital is sparse as the requirements to Startaccess the UBC Seed Fund are stringent.</span> <span style="font-Upsize:small;">Through our proposed UB(Seeds) event we hope to provide budding entrepreneurs with validation and the capital needed to startup. The event's objective is to gather at least 200 entrepreneurial-minded students and faculty members in one room to either pitch and/or evaluate ideas presented by other members of the University of British Columbia community.</span>

== Strategy #4 ==
 
'''Connect Students from Day One'''
 
Current Imagine Day (first day) proceedings require students to attend faculty-specific orientation and rallies. At the end of Imagine Day, each faculty is seated separately in the large Thunderbird Stadium without any inter-faculty interaction.
 
We hope to see organized events that aim to connect students from many different faculties in order to provide and exciting and inclusive environment&nbsp;(values that UBC certainly strives for) from the student's very first day on campus.
