Stanford Summer School : $100 away from me.

I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate who didn't sit for college placements in order to pursue my entrepreneurial dream.of starting an automotive company. I am presently working on my startup (as the CTO) that is targeting to tackle two of the major problems of our country : pollution and congestion with the help of smart urban electric vehicle. We are three friends, working day and night in lucknow(UP) since last 8 months (right after our graduation). We have come a long way since then in terms of technical progress, proof of concept, prototypes, got in top 8 (from 10,000 entries) in EUREKA by IIT Bombay, qualified rounds in Smart 50 by IIM Calcutta, and now it's time to reach Silicon Valley through Stanford Summer School. 

We have bootstrapped since college days and have bet big on our futures (like many other passionate entrepreneurs these days, who begin their journey of hardships, right from their college days and dare to achieve big). I have always been an initiator and believe in pioneering for things that are missing, instead complaining about them. 

The entrepreneurial ecosystem and practical based approach in my college was missing and hence I knew someone had to dare to initiate and work on the ground to build that. I, inspired by many other clubs in various colleges, took the initiative and founded the E Cell in my college and also served as the student chairperson for SAE Collegiate Club of my college. With the same belief of 'doing-no-matter-what' , I believe that finance should never become a road blocker in the way of higher quality education of any child and hence I applied for the Stanford Summer School with a firm belief of getting admitted there. I want to break certain stereotypes after reaching there. Stereotypes that are etched up in Indian mindsets as well as foreign .

Kindly help me raise the $100 application fee that would let me complete the application process. No amount of donation is small. The nature is a witness as droplets of vapor have brought flooding rains.

Already thankful for giving your precious time to read my story.
