Baylor’s Accelerated Ventures program and the city of Addison announced Tuesday that they are partnering to bring office incubator space for student-led businesses.

Accelerated Ventures was launched in 2011, to assists Baylor entrepreneur students in creating their own profitable companies. The program was founded by David Grubbs, part-time lecturer; Leslie Palich, assistant director of the entrepreneurial studies program; and Dr. Kendall Artz, the director of the Baylor entrepreneurship program and chairman of the management and entrepreneurship department.

Students in the Accelerated Ventures entrepreneurship course at Baylor were given the opportunity to start a real business and make real money. And some are already having success.
