Career & Finance: Self-Employment

Why do you want to do this?

I think I've got a team that can change the achievement gap between public and private high schools. Isolated students would no longer be isolated and social capital could be better distributed among those who previously had limited access to human resources. *Our project has a non-disclosure attached to it.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Startup money - We're entering all sorts of business and idea competitions. MassChallenge sponsorship would play a huge part in our development.

Press and media attention- We need users. We'll shout from the rooftops, but that's not as good as outperforming other ideas at competitions.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

We're three college students working on a project to change some fundamental problems in the educational achievement gap. If we had one-tenth as much money as we have ambition and idealism, this project would be changing thousands of lives.
