It accelerates economic growth and enhances the educational experience of students at the Wharton School by focusing on small business. The Venture Initiation Program provides University of Pennsylvania student-entrepreneurs with the education, facilities and professional guidance so critical to the initial stages of a business. A part of the Wharton Small Business Development Center, VIP offers accepted students a supportive environment to implement their business plans while learning key skills and concepts of entrepreneurship.This system is a collaborative workspace used by entrepreneurs and staff to make information available to WSBDC staff and VIP members. For example, this system provides support for consultants using the WebCafe and WebCats systems, can be used to share business data with VIP coworkers, and enables exchange of information on local entrepreneur resources. All content on this system is created collaboratively by WSBDC staff and VIP entrepreneurs, thus the utility of this system is a direct function of this effort. The best way to understand this system is to browse around and then start in by editing your company pages. <hr size="1"> <a href="/_Comment?page=Home&mode=comment">Comment on this Page</a> <hr size="1"> Last Modified 6/23/06 10:40 AM </td><td valign="top" width="100"><a href="https://whartonvip.editme.com/?show-menu=false">Hide Tools</a> <div class="menubox"> Page <a title="Create a new page on this site" href="/_NewPage">New</a> <a title="Edit this page." href="/_Edit?page-id=Home&page-version=35">Edit</a> <a title="Change the address of this page." href="/_Rename?page=Home&mode=rename-form">Rename</a> <a title="Manage attachments for this page." href="/_Attachments?page=Home">Attachments</a> <a title="View previous versions of this page." href="/_Versions?page-id=Home">Versions</a> Menu <a title="Edit the menu." href="/_Edit?page-id=Menu">Edit</a> <a title="Manage attachments for the menu." href="/_Attachments?page=Menu">Attachments</a> <a title="View previous versions of the menu." href="/_Versions?page-id=Menu">Versions</a> Site <a href="/_Recent">Changes</a> <a href="/_Index">Index</a> <a title="Manage site settings." href="/_Settings">Settings</a> <a title="Search the content of this site." href="/_Search">Search</a> <a title="Manage the page templates defined for this site." href="/_Templates">Templates</a> User <a href="/_Login?mode=logoff">Log Off</a> <a title="Update your registration information and preferences." href="/_Register?mode=UserPrefs&user-hash=i/hGpJXwM/nYtjI/+vvVJw==">Preferences</a> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> <hr size="1"> Last Modified 8/4/06 6:04 PM </td><td valign="top" width="100"><a href="http://whartonvip.editme.com/Databases?show-menu=false">Hide Tools</a> <div class="menubox"> Site <a href="/_Recent">Changes</a> <a href="/_Index">Index</a> <a title="Search the content of this site." href="/_Search">Search</a> User <a title="Log in to administer this site edit pages." href="/_Login?redirect=Databases">Log In</a> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
