Innovation Pathway

 

Climbing to the Top

  • Climb to the top working platform (Jones Accelerator): This is the final layer of the scaffolding, the very top working platform that provides access to things that would otherwise be out of reach and supports entrepreneurs as far as possible.
  • Taking down the scaffolding (Launching): When a project is complete and the support of the scaffolding is no longer needed, the crew can disassemble the scaffolding and reveal the structure within standing strongly on its own. This is the phase where Innovation Pathways connects students to the larger entrepreneurship ecosystem and helps them identify their next system of support (funders, mentors, etc.)
