This is a great opportunity for students wanting to kick start their own business. I have never been one to enjoy working for others. I have always wanted to start a business and work for myself. Even though it has been incredibly hard, I would never change it.
There really is something to be said for being self-employed. For being an entrepreneur and building something from the ground up. With your bare hands it does get rather scary, thats why funding like this can loosen the ropes and give you some breathing space whilst setting up your business, allowing you to focus with a clearer mind.
I think it is a good idea to invest the funding in areas of the business which you are not so competent at yourself (sometimes hard to admit, but once admitted-can save you weeks!). If you have the funding, fire in your belly and a great team you can rocket your business ahead!
Win up to $50,000 in value, including $10,000 in seed funding, to make your idea happen.
The CSULB Innovation Challenge is an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students from across the university to make a difference in our local and global communities through innovation.
In addition to the seed funding, you can win office space, marketing services, and more. Awards and recognition.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY...and what do we do when we see an opportunity? We grab hold of it with both hands and hold onto it tight until we are catapulted to our dreams! (hopefully, there were many times in the past where I should have acted faster).

Good Luck with your applications!
