Recently in our lecture Amy Salin came to talk to our class, Amy is the assistant director from the University of Washington's Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship; she came to talk about the steps us students and other potential individuals could take to making their business ideas come to fruition, and how they can get help with funding on them. She also discussed the student innovation competitions where people who present their ideas could have a chance of winning a cash prize to finance contestant's ideas; these contests include; Health innovation challenge: working to find innovations in health and healthcare. Environmental innovation challenge: finding ideas to soling environmental/cleantech problems. And of course; the UW business plan competition: which gives students the opportunity to experience creating a startup company, and introducing to potential beneficiaries; there is a $70,000 awarded to the best idea.
Among introducing these potential resources for business plans and startups, Amy gave advice to what is the best way to present your product, and the do's-and-don'ts of how your idea and plan should be created. She also mentioned that not only is their a potential of receiving funding for your business, but that you will be able to make connections and network with other individuals that may benefit your entrepreneurial pursuit in the future.
