Background: In 2010, NYU launched the Innovation Venture Fund to increase the level of support for\u00a0students, faculty and researchers in pursuit of entrepreneurial ventures. While investment capital can be the\u00a0catalyst that transforms a new idea into an entrepreneurial venture, funding alone does not turn a discovery into a thriving startup. Though direct investment in startups is a key role for the Fund, it has also actively\u00a0promoted and supported entrepreneurship across NYU via a variety of extracurricular programs, events and\u00a0resources. In 2012, NYU created the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute to develop a more comprehensive pan-University entrepreneurial ecosystem to attract and support our students, faculty and research staff. The\u00a0Institute is leading the creation of a network of programs, events, best practices and resources to inspire,\u00a0educate, accelerate and connect entrepreneurs within NYU, as well as with the larger New York startup\u00a0ecosystem. In September of 2014, the University took the next step in expanding NYU\u2019s support of\u00a0entrepreneurship with the creation of a new ~6,000 square foot pan-NYU Entrepreneurs Lab where aspiring\u00a0entrepreneurs from across all NYU schools can come together to connect and collaborate on entrepreneurial\u00a0ventures and other related initiatives. The Leslie eLab, as it is called, helps foster a strong entrepreneurship\u00a0community at NYU, providing a living laboratory for nurturing promising ventures and connecting NYU\u00a0entrepreneurs with both resources (EIRs, mentors, training and other programming) and with the broader\u00a0New York City startup and venture capital communities.<\/p>\n
