I've been looking at the Imagine Cup solutions for a few years now and it's always seemed a shame that none of them have gone on to turn into products. yes, there are plenty of rough edges and yes, students leave college, get a job and run out of time. At least one of the solutions has been picked up by a university incubator now and I did hope the accelerator might make some of the students feel they could get somewhere might continuing one of the projects. Am I asking for a US-style VC culture here?
