"It’s rare that I come across a tech incubator that can claim any more<br />

success than the square footage they’ve rented out. It’s not that incubators<br />

can’t work, it’s that most confuse office space with synergy. Others try to<br />

do too much and end up competing with the entrepreneurial ecosystem<br />

around them... Given my bias, I was pleasantly surprised to [visit] Project<br />

<strong>Olympus</strong>... With a shoestring budget that would make certain government<br />

funded incubators blush, [they have] created a model that will be of<br />

interest to anyone trying to figure out how to better commercialize<br />

university research."<br />

Audrey Russo • President & CEO, Pittsburgh Technology Council<br />

<strong>Olympus</strong> Advisory Cabinet member • Show & Tell presenter<br />

"Project <strong>Olympus</strong> is an example of the infectious yet subtle leadership<br />

which exists in the School of Computer Science at <strong>Carnegie</strong> <strong>Mellon</strong>... I have<br />

consistently met brilliant, diverse and talented innovators as a result of the<br />

Show and Tells, but even more crucial, is the impact this program is having<br />

across faculty, students and supporting organizations to accelerate the<br />

growth and retention of talent which is pivotal for our region."<br />
