My major is business finance, but I've always had an interest in entrepreneurship (even if just meant starting a lawn care company as a teenager--complete with business cards and a solicitor's license). This year, however, I'm committing myself to start a company (or at least be involved in one) that makes a strong performance in the competition.
A total of $100,000 in cash is given away in the competition to the top three companies, along with national recognition and leads to other venture capitalists. But honestly, the money has little to do with my being involved. I've wanted to be involved in a promising new venture for a long time, and this is the year.
Moral of the story: get excited. And give me an idea.
