== What is the process for building the centerincubator and funds? ==

Perhaps the easiest way to build the incubator and fund is to at this point, shift the initiation from the students to the administration.  If by now you've convinced the University that they '''need '''an incubator, you can network the different interested departments together to take a joint effort in developing the center.  The University will need funding to launch the incubator and fund.  Internally (within a large University), departments within the university generally don't have any money to spare, but at the college level you might be able to find some funding -- if you have aligned the incubator's purpose with the college's goals.  Externally, a charitable donation will fufill the needs.  Also, look in to other external methods of funding, like [[Dorm Room Fund|Dorm_Room_Fund]], or [[Blackstone LaunchPad|Blackstone_LaunchPad]]. == What should the incubator provide? == *Networking**Attorney that will provide pro-bono trademarks and patents**Local angel investors**Any and all local investment networks**Any and all local startup communities*Web hosting services (see [http://rackspacestartups.com/ Rackspace Startup Program])*Community work space*Consultation*Entrepreneurial learning ecosystem == What should the incubator require? == *Student involvement*Semester-based reevaluation
