7. The traditional model was simple and
straight forward:
• Align or be in a major college or
university
• Apply for lots of grants
• Get client feedstock from academics
and students
• Apply for heaps of grants and subsidies
• Recruit mentors from academia and local
and regional business community
• Apply for loads of free stuff
• Follow the mantra that it takes 4 to 6
years for a start-up to be ready
• Apply for tons of grants and subsidies
