This was an awesome competition, and we’d like to once again thank the EClub team for making it happen, the judges, mentors and advisors of the teams themselves and the club, and our great sponsors (Howard Cox ’64, ReachOut56-81, Plug and Play Tech Center, Gunderson Dettmer, USG Projects Board, Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, Davis International Center, Princeton U-Store).

In conclusion, we hope to see most of the teams execute on their business plans (we have a remarkable statistic – every winner of TigerLaunch in the 10 years it’s been held has launched a company), and we hope that you’re inspired to participate next year if you haven’t yet taken part in the competition.

Best wishes,
James and Nikhil
