Nice to hear they're doing a good job with the launch. I know there's good talent in the Computer Engineering and CIS programs and the Weiss Tech House (can students get space to work on their startup ideas there?). I'd have loved it if tech entrepreneurship had been a bigger thing on campus when I was there - most people I knew, including many M&Ts, angled towards Wall Street instead of toward tech or even entrepreneurship in general. Thankfully one or two are making a mark in areas like alternative energy now.
It would be great to see Penn grow a big student entrepreneurship culture. It has the cross-disciplinary talent, the business resources, and the networks to place its startups in very favorable starting positions. If the pre-professional culture can be retuned to get students interested in dreaming up and executing big things, they could really get the startup show on the road.
