First of all, students with ideas do not know where to look to find the right skills. Finance or Marketing majors, for example, do not know how to find Computer Science majors who are seeking to join startups, and vice versa. It is necessary to have a way to match skills on campus. Furthermore, once students have a viable team assembled, they do not know what steps they should take to launch their business and often get so bogged down in details that they fail to make progress. Having a mentor network of experienced entrepreneurs who have attended Washington University in St. Louis would help guide students toward launch. After students launch, they often have little to no capital on hand. Small amounts of seed funding (below $5,000) would give a vital boost to their businesses. Finally, they often have very little time to dedicate to their startups during the year due to obligations from classes. For this reason, a summer program should allow them to work on their ideas independently while receiving a stipend to allow them to live in St. Louis.</span></span>------------------------------------------------------------------------------Spring 2017---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
