"The InVenture Prize is a great opportunity to showcase the entrepreneurial inventions of students. Universities tend to focus on preparing students for jobs and careers, while those students who want to follow the more unconventional path of entrepreneurship are more or less left to fend for themselves. I believe that the InVenture Prize is a huge step in the right direction, encouraging students to think outside of the box and create something new."
