This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.</span></span></span>'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''</span>=
