Seed to Harvest launching the Behind Genius Ventures winter break college essay contest! | Ep 83
In today's podcast, I am thrilled to announce the Behind Genius Ventures winter break college essay contest for college students. Drawing from my own experience of funding education through essay scholarships, I recognize the need for a platform that allows students to explore their passions. As the founder of a venture capital fund, I'm eager to hear from the next generation of investors and founders about the issues driving their passion. The winning essayist will receive a $500 cash prize, a chance to record a podcast episode, and a week shadowing me as a Founding Partner. Also, the top five contestants will get the opportunity to be featured on our blog. The essay contest runs from December 13th, 2023, to January 18th, 2024.
