VeloCity - Students live and breath entrepreneurship in new UW rez

My friend Tyler showed me this tonight, and it looks friggin' awesome.

VeloCity, a new residence at UW, fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, specifically in the mobile & web space.




"VeloCity is no ordinary student residence.

It’s a place where some of UW’s most talented, entrepreneurial, creative and technologically savvy students will be united under one roof to work on the future of mobile communications, web and new media.

It’s a place where students, faculty and corporate partners will be active collaborators and beneficiaries of the talent, ideas and innovations that evolve.

It’s a place where the ‘next big thing’ could happen.

VeloCity launches in September 2008."


Apparently students will be free to pursue ideas of their own, while working with some of the brightest minds and undoubtedly one of the most innovative universities in Canada, if not the world. VeloCity also shows some promising backers, with a note already posted from Apple Canada in regards to their support for the program. Students will also have access to VCs and other members of industry.

It's certainly a step in the right direction for entrepreneurship & innovation in Canada.

Cool. Almost makes me want to go back to first year.
