Justification
  1. Justification

    Planning session hosted by John Chambers to educate and guide the Chambers College of B&E as it launches StartUp WV.

    Passengers traveled to San Jose, California for an invitation-only all-day planning session, hosted by John Chambers, to educate and guide the WVU Chambers College of Business and Economics as it launches Start Up WV. The charge of the Start Up WV business accelerator is to help startups hone their ideas, access seed capital, develop mentor relationships and partner with existing businesses. The ultimate objective of the program is to support the diversification of West Virginia’s economy, as well as the push to move the state into the innovation economy. A business accelerator program was recommended in the WV Forward report. It was critical for this meeting to be in San Jose since many of the presenters are located in Silicon Valley. The travel group consisted of individuals with direct links to Start Up WV.
