You are the next generation of investors and founders, and I want to hear from you. I would love to hear your perspective as a college student about the problems or issues that you are personally passionate about. One winner from the selections will receive a cash prize of $500, a chance to record an episode of Seed to Harvest, which is the venture podcast I host, and get a week of shadowing me as a founding partner of a venture firm. Hey, happy holidays. I am really excited to be launching the Behind Genius Ventures Winter Break College Essay Contest today. I wanted to make a short video to explain why I'm doing this, what the rules of the contest are, and what I'm looking for.
