The CT@DSU assists DSU students and faculty in finding, starting, and
growing technology-based businesses on the DSU campus. With the emphasis on
economic development in our state and region, the goal of the CT@DSU is to
assist participants in all aspects of technology commercialization. The CT@DSU
provides assistance related to:
• Funding Travel to Entrepreneurship Conferences and Competitions
• Developing Business Plans
• Forming Legal Entities
• Protecting Intellectual Property
• Developing Products and Services
• Identifying Venture Capital Sources
• Developing Marketing, Promotion, and Sales Material
• Providing Stipends, Scholarships, and Internships to DSU Students
A “Fast Track” program is underway this fall for our students to start
technology companies. It is our goal this semester to identify a group of
interested students that have a strong interest in technology
entrepreneurism and assist them in starting ventures. Students will also be
identified that have strong technology and business skills to assist their
peers in making these businesses a reality. Through our Fast Track program
the CT@DSU will prove that the DSU campus is a vibrant ground for technology
innovations.
Furthermore, the CT@DSU will be reaching out to corporate and private
partners to aid in the future funding of the Center. In order to provide the
type of assistance that these new ventures require, the CT@DSU recognizes
that we will need to accumulate funding for future operations. We also
believe that there are private and corporate entities that believe in what
the CT@DSU is undertaking and may be willing to assist with financial
support.
