The separation that your organization will get from your superseding institution will allow you to have much more freedom for further development, but also can create funding conflicts, so connections to corporate sponsors is often essential. So long as you end up with a well structured organization that shows potential, your institution will be plenty approving.</span></span>

Talking with your administration at the most basic level and inquiring as to where and why there may be a disconnect will improve their degree of utility and can fundamentally increase your venture accelerator’s success.</span></span>
