The Technology Venture Competition, part of the larger $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge, is down to its semi-finalist startup teams!
About the Tech Venture Competition:
Each year, NYU students, faculty and researchers create scores of cutting edge inventions across the information technology, life science and energy sectors. The NYU Technology Venture Competition, sponsored by the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute, serves as a catalyst for the formation of new and the acceleration of existing early-stage startups based on these exciting innovations. Winners share a $100,000 prize.
