Info: What should you do with a startup idea?

Have an innovative idea? Great. Now you just need to design it, build a prototype, create a business plan, find funding, and do some marketing. Phew. Don’t know how to do all of that? No worries. The UW Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship (startup.washington.edu) offers resources, workshops, mentors, programs, and three annual competitions to help you!
