BUFFALO, N.Y. — The University at Buffalo is seeing increases in the number of active startups formed each year in campus-based entrepreneurship programs and the level of engagement in events.
The university has ramped up its focus in the last five years to build up a support system for faculty and student startups, said Christina Orsi, associate vice president for economic development.
Efforts over the last five years include launching Blackstone LaunchPad, a campus-based entrepreneurship program; participating as a site for I-Corps programs, which combine business model training with a customer discovery process; and opening its Incubator @ CBLS facility downtown.
