Apply Now - Update and Edit Later. - You can edit applications until the application deadline. We encourage you to submit ASAP so the Venture College team can give you feedback on your application before judges see it. Many teams will make several revisions.
Word Economy - Be precise with your words. Judges don’t want to read a book - they want to quickly understand your idea and it’s uniqueness. That said, please provide enough detail so they understand your idea and status.
Making Progress? Make it very clear! - If you are beyond the idea stage - make it very clear for the judges. The preliminary round favors students who have already launched or who are close to launching. While ideas can (and should) still apply, progress and traction will give you an edge in the IEC.
