General Description

Mayor of Houston has asked us to make recommendations about how to create an innovation district in Houston

  • Go through patent data, find people with patents
  • Find people who have done R&D work
  • Carve up the world of innovative people in terms of data
    • Find their needs
    • Turn it into some sort of office space requirement
    • Try to find where this office space would be, what it would look like

Resources to pull from

Houston Entrepreneurship has info about:

  • Start ups
  • Accelerators/Incubators
  • Entrepreneurship Ecosystems
  • Small Business
  • VC

We would ideally have data about:

  • Patents in Houston
  • R&D in Houston
  • Factors relating to best Innovation Districts:
    • Networking Assets
      • Gathering spaces- shared meeting spaces
      • Accessibility- close proximity
      • Hip vibes
    • Capital Stack
      • Equity
      • VC
      • Tax credits, government aid
