• Access to a broad and deep network of professional experts with established <br />credentials in a number of emerging and established business domains. <br />• Reasonable access to start-up and seed capital on both the local and national level, <br />and later -stage capital for more established emerging growth ventures. <br />Effective and efficient provision of these services reflects the critical success factors of <br />the IP @ND. It is imperative that the IP @ND facilities and resources, including the website and <br />access to the St. Joe Valley Metronet, a state -of -the -art, vendor - neutral telecommunications <br />infrastructure consisting of a 40 -mile network of fiber -optic cable providing a high -speed data <br />network with virtually unlimited bandwidth, are conceived and executed to enable technology <br />platform development and the exploration of commercial applications from within the park. <br />We anticipate several different classes of tenants /clients in the IP @ND facilities: <br />• Start-up companies based on the intellectual property or technology platforms emerging <br />from existing or new research, led by faculty, graduate students, alumni, staff and parents <br />(defined as possessing Notre Dame DNA). <br />• Start-up companies recruited from other parts of the US or from other countries, with the <br />expressed intention to leverage the University of Notre Dame research/technology <br />platforms, intellectual property, faculty and students and other assets. <br />• Liaison offices and/or collaborative laboratory space for separately - funded larger <br />commercial enterprises that have, or wish to have, an ongoing research relationship with <br />the University of Notre Dame (e.g., Boeing or Zimmer). <br />• Space for conceptual exploration, development and demonstrated proof of concept of <br />innovative entrepreneurial initiatives ( "greenhouse ") emerging from one or more <br />technology platforms. <br />Page 9 of 23 <br />
