Do I have to give up my job or appointment at Harvard to do this?

You do not. While part of the IQSS Startup Foundry, you and the business driver will be doing a research project, using all of Harvard’s facilities. At some time after the business is launched (agreed upon between you and the University), the business will operate independently and off campus, but the faculty member will retain a role as advisor, board member, equity holder, or in another mutually agreeable and beneficial capacity.
