TESTIMONIAL

"The i.Invest Business Competition was an amazing journey that helped us to learn, grow, and develop as young entrepreneurs and make an impact on the world through our health technology startup. Oftentimes, as high schoolers, the entrepreneurial journey seems tough and even impossible at times. But, the i.Invest Competiton fueled our passions by providing us with invaluable connections, experiences, and opportunities."
