ASU Venture Catalyst, part of ASU SkySong, has officially launched the 2012 application for the Edson Student Entrepreneur competition, to find and support the best new and innovative student startups in Arizona State University. Now entering its eight year, the Edson Student Entrepreneurship Initiative is the University’s premier student startup competition, and one of the largest privately funded business plan competitions at a U.S. university.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 2012 application. Students can win up to $20,000 in funding as well as mentoring and office space to advance their venture ideas. More importantly, we have added over 70 leading mentors to the program in the last 8 months, including mentors in Silicon Valley, New York and Europe,” said Brent Sebold, Venture Manager for the Edson program. “We plan to build on the success of this past year's Edson cohort which included three of the five finalists in Entrepreneur Magazine's “College Entrepreneur of the Year” award and the eventual overall winner, G3Box,” he added.
