==<span style="font-size:large;">'''<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Strategy #1: Improving the lack of university technology transfer function and supporting students in starting their business.</span>'''</span>==
<big>Menlo College is lacking in the university technology transfer function. Students are innovators and come up with amazing ideas. To build the bridge between ideas and economy some students need a hand. That is why we want to find a way to support their creative minds. In order to help students starting their own business, it is crucial to have a center, a club or a delegated person to talk to. That way students would not only be supported, but also motivated to implement their projects. That is a big step towards a more innovative and entrepreneurial Campus at Menlo College.</big>

One of the current senior capstone courses called Launching the Venture that was designed to address this problem is not really effective in what it’s trying to achieve. The current working ideas do not lead to actual ventures. One of the main reasons for that is because the students enrolled in the class are not serious entrepreneurs, as in they have no interest in launching their own ventures; they only enroll in the class because it works better with their schedules. Additionally, another big factor for why the current Launching the Venture is ineffective is because students begin the class without a refined idea to work with. So, a big chunk of the course is spent on finding the project ideas, in a very rush-Design Thinking way. Lastly, due partly to the lack of funding, Menlo College lacks many components/resources that are essential for building a sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus, as indicated in our Landscape Canvas Synthesis.</span></span></span>

==<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Strategy #1: Creating Space for Creativity</span> ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Creating a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Menlo College campus is difficult because of our small size. Menlo College has a little less than 1000 students and already uses up almost all of its space. That is why we thought of setting up temporary innovation spots outside around campus.</span>
