Changes

To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investmentsto give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective students need student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to be identifiedmake. From this point one, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture financeand gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.
