== Tactic #1: Student Accelerator/Bridge Program ==
*Description: There are some opportunities for students to form and build entreprenuerial ventures, but a majority of students working on venture ventures are upperclassmen that are close to graduating. Once someone has graduated from NC State, they no longer have access to the support and resources provided by the university which makes it much more difficult to continue on with their ventureventures. Initially, building stronger strong partnerships in the local area will help provide students with support. Key partnerships could be formed/improved with Thinkhouse Raleigh, HQ, Groundworks Labs, and Triangle Startup Factory. Eventually, some sort of accelerator that partnered specifically with NC State would be most effective in giving the support students need.
