Research verdict

Maybe Include. Adelphi has meaningful innovation programming and a recurring pitch competition with real but modest funding. It should be included if the database captures campuses with active innovation centers and pitch competitions even without formal accelerator or venture fund depth. It should be excluded if the threshold requires formal commercialization infrastructure, cohort-based accelerators, or dedicated university-backed venture funding.
