Severino Center Launches Foundry-RPI

The Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship is launching Foundry-RPI, a working group where entrepreneurs can meet weekly, get peer feedback, and execute on ideas in an environment in which it is both expected that you are trying to do awesome things and it is okay to fail.  The Foundry-RPI program will continue through summer 2012. Student teams can engage in the program either for course credit or in an internship setting. Small grants are available for the internship option.
The Foundry system was developed by an RPI graduate now at the University of Utah and includes a proven method for structuring business incubation.  A key advantage of leveraging the Foundry system is the weath of resources available online. For more information on the Foundry program, view these videos.
An information session will be held on Tuesday, January 24th at 6:00 pm in room 104 in the Lally Building. RSVP to the Facebook Event
Join the Google Group (this is how we will share information throughout the semester)
