IDEA: Northeastern’s Venture Accelerator launches first wave of ventures

In fewer than two years, IDEA has worked with more than 200 ven­tures from every col­lege in the uni­ver­sity and pro­vided approx­i­mately $150,000 in funding to more than a dozen teams, many of which have drawn interest from out­side investors. The ven­ture accel­er­ator is in posi­tion to dole out some $200,000 in funding within the next year.
