"I thought we need to start as restrictive as possible, get control of this out-of-control situation, and then we can start loosening up if we realize there's a greater demand or adjustments we have to make to provide people with access," Huizar...
Their pragmatic idea ended up winning them first place in the I3 Innovation Challenge, a contest organized by Harvard Student Agencies, The Technology and Entrepreneurship Center, and The Harvard College Entrepreneurship Forum. They received a cash prize and, more importantly, support from HSA. With this help, Yan and his team have been expanding the company, and they plan to broaden the iPhone app’s scope even further after they graduate...
