I applaud your effort but someone <i>who has demonstrated entrepreneurial excellence</i> can easily find $2500. Still what else you can bring to the table?
So we give you our brilliant ideas, you cherry pick them and go execute them and reap the profits, then pay one person $2,500 for what you get, while everyone else watches you laugh all the way to the bank?<p>"Too clever by half" is a phrase that was invented for situations like this.
Ramit! do you really think that unavailability of $2,500 could be holding someone back from implementing his super-innovative entrepreneurial idea? I suggest that you mix a few more things with you bounty? something that an entrepreneur might actually need and want. $2,500 is way too down the list.
i've known Ramit for four years and he's a very intelligent and upstanding person who's genuinely interested in helping people better manage their lives and implement their ideas. $2500 might not be a lot to someone who's got a well paying job and is well out of college, but for your average entrepreneurially inclined college student, it's great motivation to help them get started on something meaningful.
Ramit,<p>Are there are positive criteria that would make an applicant less attractive for your scholarship?<p>For example:<p>* for profit<p>* teams<p>* a team including at least one person over 29<p>* progress (is this only for ideas?)
