The Hatch business incubator in East Lansing will host a new online gaming business, launched by a 22-year old
Michigan State University student.
According to excerpts from the article:
Michigan State University student Bryce Colquitt plans to move his company,
Jolly Digital,
into the flexible co-working space by Monday. The 1,400-square-foot
facility is housed at 325 E. Grand River Ave., home of the
East Lansing Technology Innovation Center. The TIC is a city-run incubator for technology businesses.
The
incubator cost about $48,000 to build out. The city covered the costs
up-front, and will recoup it through rent paid by the university over
three years, said Jeff Smith, who manages The Hatch and the TIC.
Colquitt, 22, is a senior studying English literature. He pitched his idea for an educational online game at
Startup Weekend,
an event held at the TIC in November where participants worked in teams
to develop business strategies and received advice from professional
mentors.
Colquitt had to go through a screening process to be
accepted into The Hatch, said Megan Gebhart, a student co-director of
the incubator.
