I've been thinking a lot about what an innovation-friendly school looks like and have a few thoughts--and it doesn't just mean building labs or creating more flexible IP licensing schemes. More and more startups are getting built without relying on University research--because hard technology is rarely the barrier to innovation these days.

I wanted someone who was experimenting with computer controlled LEDs as an art form to feel part of the community as well--which is why I started referring to it as the "Innovation Community".

This is the first of a series of posts this week on careers in innovation and startups--sort of a thought exercise for me on the topic for my talk at General Assembly at 8PM on 12/15.

A lot has been written about whether or not we should be encouraging 1000 startups to bloom and the proliferation of incubators, as well as the growth of angel investing. What's troubling is when you get $500k for a test--which means that a great entrepreneur and 2-3 developers are tied up on a project that just isn't working for 9-12 months.

Technology innovation doesn’t occur in a vacuum. And it is one of the reasons that NYC is developing a vibrant technology community. So we’ve seen an explosion in the number of startup companies and subsequently a huge burst in the number of incubators. It’s clearly a complex topic without black-and-white answers.

We need to take some risks in education and in innovation in this country so anybody that it trying to break through the traditional mold and try to create a new model ought to be lauded, not attacked. Suddenly everybody wants to be an incubator. Thiel and friends will also agree to mentor these young entrepreneurs. My 2 cents: 1.
