In order to make progress on expanding the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem at Furman, a portfolio of small bets should be created in order to test assumptions and inform next steps in a way that makes use of existing assets and resources. Such small bets could include:
== '''1) New Post Graduate Fellowships and Internships: '''How might we create internships, post-grad fellowships and co-operative learning opportunities that introduce Furman students to innovation and entrepreneurship by building upon the Furman Advantage, Internship and Independent Study programs? <br/> == ===
- Tinderbox: In partnership with Brains on Fire & CreateAthon, this student-run branding agency could partner with local organizations to complete pro-bono design projects and consult non-profit clients on current communications, fundraising and word-of-mouth marketing strategies. By working through the Art Department and the Office of Internships, Tinderbox could feature semester and yearlong internships, summer fellowships and other engaged learning opportunities.
