We have a business incubator at Virginia Tech that does that. A Phd candidate will come up with a marketable idea. The incubator sets him up with a mentor team and set up an office for him. If the idea works out, they spin him off. It’s been wildly successful.

That's great!

There's absolutely no reason that this exact type of arrangement can't work with young men getting started in life.
