WVU's Vantage Ventures helps start-ups overcome hurdles

摘要

A new initiative at West Virginia University (WVU) is described as "the finishing piece of the puzzle" for university start-up support in the state. The program — Vantage Ventures — is the latest addition to a series of developments by the university to enhance the state's business environment. Fueled by the John Chambers College of Business and Economics, Vantage is neither an incubator nor an accelerator. Rather it sits in between, providing the best of both structures and fills a critical gap seen by its developers, picking up where tech transfer efforts often leave off.
