SUMMARY:Deadline: Columbia Venture Competition Technology Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Columbia Engineering provides funding in the Technology Challenge to students and teams focused in tech\, innovation\, products\, etc. \nAll entries to the Technology Challenge must include business models based on a solid foundation of applied\, solution-focused\, technology innovation.

As always\, cross-disciplinary teams were strongly encouraged. \nThe Tech Challenge is open to all Columbia University students and recent alumni (five years or less from their most recent degree) but teams must have one SEAS founding member (either recent alumni or student). \nThere’s more information at StartupColumbia.org – please check that site for eligibility and timeline information\, made available when you click on the name of the challenge you are interested in – but here’s a quick run down of this and other tracks that are accepting applications this month with the deadlines for participating and lines to applications.
