| February 20, 2008 |  View for printing |
An elite group of young wanna-be entrepreneurs from around the world got the full Silicon Valley treatment this week: lessons in refining business plans, making funding pitches to the Sand Hill Road crowd - and engaging in "team-building" like it's the dot-com '90s.
Microsoft and British Telecom invited six college student teams to spend about two weeks in the valley to get a crash course in how to turn tech innovation into tech riches.
The 24 participants were finalists in the third-annual Imagine Cup http://imaginecup.com/ , an international competition for student teams who employ technology to solve complex problems. Improving education was this year's theme.
