We look for founders who are creative, disciplined, and trustworthy. We are passionate entrepreneurs who know how to build successful companies from the ground up. To us, building a business is an act of creative expression. It's an opportunity to make a difference and change the world. If not, why bother? == Life Beyond Barriers == Life Beyond Barriers is the collaboration of visionary leadership from an elite collection of organizations. United, the organization utilizes their world-class skills and resources – biomedical, biotechnological and rehabilitation – to create solutions for real issues that confront people with disabilities, healthcare professionals and caregivers. == Michigan Initative for Innovation & Entrepreneurship == The Michigan Initiative for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (MIIE) builds on Michigan's universities as economic assets by speeding the commercialization of university research while promoting a culture of entrepreneurial risk-taking. The initiative partners Michigan's philanthropic resources with university and private business resources to help launch new startup companies, and strengthen ties between small business, industry and academia. == TechTown == TechTown is Detroit’s business innovation hub. As the city’s most established business accelerator and incubator, we provide a powerful connection to a broad network of resources, catalyzing entire communities of entrepreneurs best poised to energize the local economy. = Entreprenurship Atmosphere = We currently rate WSU as a 9 out of 10 because of the amount of students interested in startups, however the university could greatly improve the visibility of the available resources for students as well as improve their Intellectual Property Policies. Also the number of student run organizations isn't much though we see that being fixed by 2016.
