E+I mission
Our mission is to support regional economic growth and social change; foster an innovative culture among the students, faculty and all units at ASU; and be a national model for E+I at a public research university.
the need
Challenge Inventors, problem solvers, potential entrepreneurs, micro and small businesses need assistance in cultivating and advancing their ideas in the United States.
The vast majority of libraries and museums, both traditional community hubs for knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing, are not innovating on their models to offer 21st century skill development programs for the communities they serve.
Many librarians and museums are looking to transform their public spaces to better serve community interests by making shifts in their role in the community.
SolutionThe Alexandria Innovation Network (AIN), designed by ASU, creates a collaborative network of libraries, museums and community partners that advance and promote local innovation and entrepreneurship through knowledge sharing. The partners in the network provide community members with broad access to continuing education in entrepreneurship, mentors, service providers, and other community-based resources for current and aspiring small-business owners.
about AIN
The Alexandria Innovation Network provides a place for entrepreneurs to go to work on their ideas and collaborate with other entrepreneurs.
ASU actively engages with each of our library & museum locations by setting up mentor office hours, holding entrepreneurial classes under ASU’s Rapid Startup School program, and providing marketing material for the libraries to promote their location.
Additionally, ASU connects AIN locations to the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. These collaboration spaces are designed to complement other types of co-working spaces rather than compete with them.
community connectedness: Rapid Startup School (RSuS)
ASU’s Rapid Startup School (RSuS) is a sequence of continuing education modules, organized in three stages: Stage 1: Ideation (RSuS S1). Learning modules and tasks for entrepreneurs that are refining initial problems/solutions and learning how to efficiently navigate potentially viable markets.
Stage 2: Validation (RSuS S2). Learning modules and tasks for entrepreneurs that are experimenting and developing prototypes, minimum viable products, and launching solutions in the market.
Stage 3: Acceleration (RSuS S3). Learning modules and tasks for entrepreneurs that have successfully demonstrated product-market fit and revenue generation and are ready to scale, expand, or optimize their commercialization activities. ASU RSuS continuing education programs are available for two audiences:
Entrepreneur training is for current and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in advancing their ideas and developing their ventures.
Facilitator training is for individuals interested in becoming certified ASU RSuS facilitators for S1, S2 and/or S3 entrepreneur training.
6ktotal participants in ASU-led programs held at AIN locations since May, 2013.
12+over a dozen new companies have been launched at AIN locations since May, 2013.
55%over 55% of participants surveyed indicated that they had not visited their local library prior to participating in an AIN event.
impact to date
Since launching AIN, we have opened collaboration spaces in four library locations including (with more launching this year):
Phoenix Burton Barr LibraryMesa Red Mountain LibraryScottsdale Public LibraryGoodyear Public Library
ASU has plans to expand to other cities in Arizona as well as libraries and museums in California.
impact to date: continued
a community connected campus
ASU had delivered more than 30 classes as part of the network.
AIN has also attracted national attention. Many other libraries and museums have expressed interest in participating in the Network as well as modeling similar partnerships.
The core goal is to have a community-based, ‘democratization of entrepreneurship’, that is complimentary to the existing entrepreneurial ecosystem. These spaces in AIN locations will serve anyone who wants to be part of the entrepreneurship value chain from idea to product to commercialization, such as mentors, experts, innovators, thought leaders, curious-minded individuals, and problem solvers.
