The fact that the director of business acceleration be drinking with a member of the community, here in Peru means that a good relationship was established. Take advantage of the auspice and all others provided by the business accelerator in order to gain confidence, seriousness and respect, in addition to generating desire in the students and people on campus, to enter the community. I recommend that you also emphasize that the community was created from the classmates who took the University Innovations Fellow program at Stanford, that draws the attention of students and gives confidence.">GETTING STARTED</span></span> =

If anybody has a project idea agreed to help or partake in the communitysomeway, there are days when they plan a meeting to make arrangements on how both sides can pitch the ideas make a win-win situation. Do whatever you can, and get feedback and help bargain if you must. At this point you need to proceed with their ideas.They have autonomy in implementing know the projects.
