The Best Buy College Innovator Fund is a nationwide search to find, mentor and fund the next big ideas. Best Buy is looking for users to submit a product, service or piece of software they created in the areas of technology, sustainability, education or a related field that may revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. Best Buy recognizes and wants to celebrate the entrepreneur that has always seized opportunities to make a mark and add value, especially during challenging economic times. Best Buy is rewarding a total of $100,000 in cash prizes and a mentorship opportunity with Best Buy's Exclusive Brands team. The fund will be run entirely through the Best Buy Facebook page where users can gather information, submit links to videos, vote on their favorite idea and much more.
