ASU STUDENTS LAUNCH ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURES THROUGH NEW INITIATIVE

Sixteen Arizona State University (ASU) student-led ventures were launched on Friday following the inaugural Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative selection process. Student teams competed for award money to explore their innovative ideas for business products and services or social good. Submissions came from 99 teams cutting across ASU campuses and disciplines.

The Initiative, made possible by a $5.4 million donation from Orin Edson to the Arizona State University Foundation, supports 16 new ventures. Awards include up to $20,000 in seed funding, office space at the Initiative's facility located at the Brickyard in downtown Tempe, and training and networking opportunities with ASU faculty, researchers and successful entrepreneurs.
