Humaneering Better Mouse Traps

I have been thinking how to harness more of the academic talent at National University around a cross-school project to help students ranging from high school juniors through college sophomores to start a few businesses. It seems to me that several projects could be developed in concept by the students, some of our students really know what’s hot, while faculty from the various schools within National could act as mentors to ensure the students make better decisions regarding their business development. Each student business could have an advisory board made up of faculty from business, finance, engineering, media and communication, all coaching each other toward success. It’s even possible to pull in a local law firm and venture group to help position the student business to get funded or acquired as the case needs. Techcrunch even has 10 great ideas for students to begin with and according to Om Malik, Google might be a taker. Any ideas on getting this rolling?
