NeuroVigil Sleep Scientists Win $250,000 DFJ Venture Challenge

Emerging entrepreneurs crossed swords on Wednesday at the fourth annual Draper Fisher Jurvetson Venture Challenge. Unlike most startup competitions and launch events, the Venture Challenge is for more than just the prestige - DFJ guarantees a $250,000 investment into the winner. This year, the (literally) giant check was snapped up by the beaming sleep scientists at NeuroVigil. Among the other five finalists, I was most intrigued by Athleon and Cascade Clean Energy.
