"Participating in the i.Invest National Youth Business Competition has been a pivotal experience for my business. When I first applied, my company didn't have much of a growth strategy and there were still quite a few unanswered questions. Throughout the 6 month process, I was able to develop the business model, learn from industry professionals, and answer many of those questions. I loved listening to all our speakers during the mentor session and meeting our incredible judges!"

"i.Invest allowed us to pursue our desire to mix our passion for entrepreneurship and statistics to create a company dedicated to spreading social good. With mentors who were always prepared to aid us at any step in the process, we found that creating a company was not as daunting or complicated as we had expected. We’re extraordinarily thankful, as this would not have been possible on our own."
