Innovators shine at I3 challenge

Student entrepreneurs were awarded a total of $80,000 in prize money to help them develop and execute their business projects at yesterday’s I3 Harvard College Innovation Challenge. 

The night’s largest catches came in the form of three $15,000 McKinley Family Grants, which went to a Web-heavy slate that included online enterprises geared towards providing free SAT prep to low-income students, making holiday travel cheaper, and navigating New York City more easily. 

The I3 event was intended to spur greater student interest in entrepreneurship projects, which tend to go underrepresented on campus, according to Elizabeth L. Altmaier ’09, vice president of the Harvard College Entrepreneurship Forum and lead organizer of the event.
