EXCITING NEWS! You have until Wednesday, October 9th to submit your application for the Maseeh Entrepreneurship Prize Competition (MEPC). We’ve extended the deadline for 48 hours, giving you more time to get your applications in! This competition is truly life-changing - and our 2022 Winners can testify! Jean-Daniel LeRoy and Skylar Thomas shared that “MEPC was instrumental in getting Playbook off the ground into a full fledged startup”. At the moment, Playbook has pivoted away from collaborative 3D designs for AR/VR and are now focusing on creating simple 3D animations and turning them into rich 3D worlds using A8. They also won the “Best Startup to Watch” Award at Augmented World Expo in June! It’s amazing to see our winners grow outside of MEPC, and continue to develop their startups. This could be you - the final chance to apply is now! #MEPC #USCStartups #USCCompetition #USCInnovation #USCViterbi #Entrepreneurship #DeepTech
