<p>Dear good sir or madam, </p>
<p>I am a college student in the USA. I was just wondering what are the most prestigious college science competitions? </p>
<p>I have a very good invention and I want to start a business. I believe that a competition will allow me to do so. </p>
<p>Also, do you know how to start a business using a novel idea? I believe that venture capital firms require you to have a business already, but mine is just an idea. I do not want to join a competition, but I think that a competition is the best way. </p>
<p>I asked on the parents forum since parents are the most knowledgeable on these things. </p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
