Boise State and the greater Boise area has a number of resources which can help with technology transfer, accessing startup resources such as space and mentorship, venture capital firms, and angel investors. The Office of Technology Transfer at Boise State supports research activities, and manages industry relations, as well as the commercialization of intellectual property. The Venture College is a resource provided by the College of Innovation and Design which offers student led startups space to run their business from, as well as access to an extensive mentor network and help with finding funding, as well as providing help and information with copyright and other intellectual property. A similar program offered by the College of Business and Economics is the Strategic Growth Capital Partnership. The University of Idaho also offers a free service to help students patent their ideas and inventions for free, offering legal advice and help with researching similar and existing patents. Boise State also offers graduate classes in grant writing. Boise Angel Alliance and Loon Creek Capital are both resources to connect startups with angel investors, simplifying the process of getting seed funding.
