As University City continues to grow its reputation as a destination for up-and-coming entrepreneurs, Drexel University announced two initiatives on Thursday that will amp up its support of start-ups.

The university is starting a $10 million seed fund for Drexel-affiliated entrepreneurs, with half the money coming from Ben Franklin Technology Partners. On top of that, it’s partnering with Ben Franklin and another major venture capital firm to bolster services at the school’s Innovation Center.
