The 411 on the Hive
What is the Hive? 
The Hive will be Canada's first totally free live-in technology incubator/accelerator for entrepreneurially minded students who study at either 
UW or WLU during the school year.  Hive is loosely modelled after the 
successful Y 
Combinator program started by Paul Graham and largely inspired by
The Grotto, a collective 
workspace for talented writers, filmmakers and artists in San Francisco. 
How does it work? 
It's simple. We ascribe to the belief that by bringing together the most 
passionate and inspired entrepreneurially minded technology students together 
for a school term or school year under one roof, that we can all make great 
things happen. To that end, we are starting a university wide search for 5-7 
of the savviest and most seasoned entrepreneurially bent technology students in 
March 2008 and aim to bring them together, let them feed off each other and 
their ideas, and work collaboratively on new projects as they see fit throughout 
the school year while continuing on with their studies.
pad - Check
Wii, Xbox, PS - Oh you bet
Poker nights - Why not?
Minutes from UW - Uh huh
Ping Pong - Ok, we'll concede on that too
To put it simply, we want to create the perfect environment that allows you 
to work and play, share and discover, and learn and grow.  We offer free 
room throughout the school year, along with all the trimmings and fixins 
(see above) for you to make the most of your time at our humble abode.  Of 
course, we're only looking for the best and brightest; students who love the 
rush of late night code sessions, who wake up in cold sweats with wondrous 
epiphanies, who live, sleep and breathe technology and who want to collaborate 
with other like minded
