Description

Value of Participating in the WBPC
"Participating and winning the competition has tremendous value. It gives you the opportunity to meet and talk to people with whom otherwise it would be difficult to get face time ... hot shot entrepreneurs, execs and VC's; it looks great on your resume and opening the NASDAQ makes a great story. However, if you are really lucky, and this doesn't happen often, you find a great team mate ... like I did."
