While there is a "shark tank" program in the planning stages at the University of Dayton, there is currently no resource for early stage project advising. Through forming a panel of student entrepreneurs and faculty, a program can be established so that students can have their ideas vetted before they form a team and start pursuing the venture. This program would also serve as an early stage venture advising resource for student entrepreneurs. <br/span></span> == <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: smaller;">Tactic #2: Create a Database of Innovators</span></span> == <span style="font-size:small;">Many students currently have entrepreneur ideas, but lack the connections needed to move from ideation to a working product or startup. Often as a result of little collaboration across department lines, there are many cases where a team of engineering students lack business expertise, business students lack technical (engineering) knowledge, or where any of these groups lack artistic ability. By creating a database of high achieving and talented students from across the the entire university, student innovators could easily fill the gaps that exist in their teams. </span>
