Pooling resources from the CED\u2019s 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>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really passionate about providing applied learning opportunities and real-world experiences to undergraduate students,\u201d said Kelsey Whitman, a 2014 alumna and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umweagleworks.org\">EagleWorks<\/a> business incubation program manager who initiated the StartUpUMW program. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<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\u2019s Center for International Education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in the beta-testing phase this summer and had no clue where to go next,\u201d said Caish, a computer science major who took iOS development courses on his way to making the app. \u201cStartUpUMW helped me immensely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Designed to provide a safety network for individuals, the app includes a live feature that can send danger alerts or \u201cI\u2019m safe\u201d 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>\n<p>\u201cIt helps your network understand when you might need help,\u201d said Center for International Education Director Jose Sainz, who had 17 students test the app during this summer\u2019s UMW in Spain program, \u201cIt was useful for us as students landed in Spain or were walking home in the dark and couldn\u2019t find a taxi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>StartUpUMW is accepting applications for students interested in participating in the spring 2017 program.
