Photo by Joemmel Tendilla. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!-- close group --> <\/div> <!-- close row --> <\/div><p>These were just a few of the questions that junior Timothy Caish had when he walked into StartUpUMW, hosted by the <a href=\"http:\/\/economicdevelopment.umw.edu\/student-entrepreneurship\/\">UMW Center for Economic Development<\/a> (CED).<\/p><p>One of five students in the pilot program this fall, Caish is learning essential skills and strategies for starting and running a business. Pooling resources from the CED&rsquo;s network of business owners, the program creates a packaged education that leads young entrepreneurs through ideation and planning to the final pitch. Students meet once a week to hear faculty, staff and local business owners share their knowledge and expertise on topics like commercialization, business models, legal structure, marketing and accounting.<\/p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re really passionate about providing applied learning opportunities and real-world experiences to undergraduate students,&rdquo; said Kelsey Whitman, a 2014 alumna and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umweagleworks.org\">EagleWorks<\/a> business incubation program manager who initiated the StartUpUMW program. &ldquo;We wanted to extend the services and resources [the CED] offers to local businesses to the student body and get them connected with people who have been through the process.&rdquo;<\/p><p>For Caish, the program is the launching pad for his app, <a href=\"https:\/\/safetysimplicity.com\/\">Safety Simplicity<\/a>, which he developed as a personal security support tool for students studying abroad with UMW&rsquo;s Center for International Education.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I was in the beta-testing phase this summer and had no clue where to go next,&rdquo; said Caish, a computer science major who took iOS development courses on his way to making the app. &ldquo;StartUpUMW helped me immensely.&rdquo;<\/p><p>Designed to provide a safety network for individuals, the app includes a live feature that can send danger alerts or &ldquo;I&rsquo;m safe&rdquo; notifications to selected groups of family and friends. Caish is currently talking to a lawyer about trademarking, planning to start an LLC, and working to further his app development hobby. He hopes to have Safety Simplicity on the market in early 2017.<\/p><p>&ldquo;It helps your network understand when you might need help,&rdquo; said Center for International Education Director Jose Sainz, who had 17 students test the app during this summer&rsquo;s UMW in Spain program, &ldquo;It was useful for us as students landed in Spain or were walking home in the dark and couldn&rsquo;t find a taxi.&rdquo;<\/p><p>StartUpUMW is accepting applications for students interested in participating in the spring 2017 program.
