What the program do is we recruit top grads. It brings the fellows to a training camp for five weeks at Brown University. It brings in entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, McKenzie, IDO to help train them in what it takes to build a company. And then the fellows work in startup companies in Detroit, New Orleans, Providence, Cincinnati and eight other U.S.cities for two years. And at the end of those two years they’ll have a sense of how the se businesses grow and develop.
