These three companies represent the finalists in JumpStart’s student business idea competition. A panel of judges comprised of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs-in-residence spent time reviewing these higher education entries, and ranked them on criteria such as: product idea, idea presentation and awareness of the market. The companies were then voted on by visitors to neoexpo.org. The final placements were determined by adding up the results of this popular vote (weighted one-fourth of the final ranking) with the judges scores (weighted three-fourths of the final ranking).
Our three winners are:
Miach Medical Innovations has developed endotracheal and feeding tubes with a built-in sensor, which is meant to pinpoint location and detect unintended movement. These devices have the potential to better protect patients who depend on these tubes.
Amplified Wind Solutions developed a wind turbine that amplifies windspeed. With their Wind Amplification System, the Cleveland State University company aims to provide the telecommunications industry with an alternative energy solution that produces 6x more electricity than a stand-alone turbine.
This Kent State company produces interchangeable hair accessories, primarily for headbands. Consumers can purchase one headband, and customize it with multiple accessories representing a favorite sports team, college and Greek organization.
