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_FundDorm Room Fund]], or [[Blackstone LaunchPad|Blackstone_LaunchPadBlackstone LaunchPad]].
