Re: Is business too overlooked by FIRST?

I think the Entrepreneurship Award places a great emphasis on business, not to mention it's sponsored by one of Silicon Valley's largest VCs.

I think business acumen is an implicit part of other awards including but not limited to EI and Chairmans - you can't run a successful program without having a mastery of organizational strategies, fundraising, writing, PR, etc.
