I was thinking more along the lines of how a place like Stanford manages to create a start up culture by leveraging its student developed technology with its business school student body and the local venture capital/finance community.
Does Emory have something like that going on? I wonder because the Ebola testing innovator managed to get funding for his startup based on the Ebola detection technology he developed even while still a student. That implies some level of connection to the business and finance communities that a freshman biology major would not have on his own without some level of university support and connection.
I’m sure Emory business school students develop start ups all the time. I remember reading about this guy who developed the low carb/high protein pasta and turned it into a business:

But is there a developed pipeline for those Emory students interested in launching their own tech or biotech startups?
