How about turning it in to a startup community gathering place? YC benefits: Instead of just receiving a lot of apps from the area from people you never heard of, you'd be able to get to know them for months before they apply; It'd help your application process, and let you make more accurate judgments on who would succeed and who wouldn't; You'd be able to tap in to the Harvard/MIT crowd and get more of them interested (although I'm sure YC isn't slouching here already).
