student competition TigerLaunch Princeton Uni
After a whirlwind day of pitching to investors and judges, we came in second place in the Social Track, securing $2,000 in seed capital. It was the vote of confidence we needed to take our business model from paper to product.
As college students we were old enough to design something sensible yet young enough to dream big. We hunched over laptops with shared Google Docs and worked late into the night on business plans and website designs, relegating assignments, exams, and thesis chapters to the early morning. We attended public lectures with entrepreneurial speakers and waited by the door to ambush the panelists for help and advice. Conversations with friends, family, and strangers turned into "Do you know anybody who..." brainstorming sessions. Every time a spontaneous conversation yielded a new contact or a potential order of cards for their company, we shot off enthusiastic emails to each other.
When one of us was swamped with work, the others stepped up. There was no mention of scorekeeping, just tacit mutual understanding of a shared dedication to the goal we had all adopted. It was not an easy leap of faith to trust a new team with such an enormous undertaking. But we learned for ourselves the truth in Harry Truman's famous words: "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
