#  Does the IQSS Startup Foundry take equity from the new venture to participate? 

 



No, we don’t charge for support and resources (we have amazing donors who fund this work) and do not take any equity. Any IP issues related to the company are subject to Harvard University's IP Policy. Consult with[ Harvard's Office of Technology Development](https://otd.harvard.edu/) if you have IP questions. We can help you navigate the sometimes complex Harvard ecosystem (and outside activities reporting) as you prepare to launch the new initiative.
