“What’s the safest thing to do?”

I found myself asking this question freshmen year when I was trying to come up with an idea for Project Echo, a high school entrepreneurs’ business plan competition. I wanted an idea with the highest guarantee for success to present on the big stage at UCLA. However, I quickly realized that entrepreneurship is not about finding the safest option; rather, it is about taking risks and making adjustments through multiple attempts. Not content to "play it safe," I pitched a fantasy sports game where professional baseball prospects are treated like stocks on Wall Street.

I would like Georgia Tech to provide me with elite entrepreneurship ventures so I can further my design and presentation skills. Furthermore, I would look forward to working on real-world applications through the Capstone Design. The Scheller College of Business can provide me with the knowledge - and the willingness to take risks - that I need to succeed in the business world.
