We provide critical venture mentorship and funding for student competitors who are launching a hardware enterprise within a wide variety of cutting-edge marketplaces including but not limited to hardware solutions, IoT and social enterprises with a focus on conscious capitalism.
University supported
We value university-supported technologies and the scientists, artists, engineers, enterprisers and designers who develop them.
