Kansas University students with startup ideas will soon get help launching them from a new university-run business accelerator.
The KU Catalyst, a joint project between the School of Business and the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, or BTBC, will connect students with the workspace, mentoring and capital needed to create new companies.
Beginning in February, the KU Catalyst will be housed in the BTBC offices. Wally Meyer, director of KU's entrepreneurship programs, said the space would have moveable walls, plenty of white boards for writing, and would come equipped with media technology, all so that students could easily collaborate.
