ComeFail is co-hosting, alongside Venture for America, an event for students to share ideas with the community. The competition will begin through an open group Facebook forum and culminate in a campus-wide event where the top five ideas are pitched in front of a small panel of judges with three ideas taking home monetary awards. Get involved by joining the ComeFail Facebook group, sharing your ideas, and grilling others’ ideas!
