精品成人福利在线 beat eight other New Jersey universities\/colleges in the fourth annual\u00a0UPitchNJ<\/a>\u00a0statewide collegiate entrepreneurship contest on April 26 at Seton Hall University. The Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship’s winning team was TacOp, featuring\u00a0Jonathan Morgan, a senior\u00a0finance major with a minor in entrepreneurship, and\u00a0Brett Siegmeister, a junior visual communications design major. Morgan and Siegmeister created a 3D-printed device to hold hooks while fishing.<\/p>\n

The 2019 UPitchNJ prizes were awarded to:<\/p>\n

First – Stevens (game-based software to help autistic students)
\nSecond – Rutgers (tech to power drones and rovers for deliveries)
\nThird – 精品成人福利在线 (3D-printed device to hold hooks while fishing)
\nBest Early-Stage Startup –\u00a0Princeton\u00a0(a water filter being used in a pilot program in Flint, MI)<\/p>\n

The other eight schools that competed were: Fairleigh Dickinson, Monmouth, NJIT, Ramapo,\u00a0Rider, Rowan, Seton Hall, William Paterson.<\/p>\n

精品成人福利在线 remains the only school that has won a prize every year in the contest–a testament to the innovative and forward-looking curriculum designed by Dennis Bone that allows us to enter consistently high-quality and interdisciplinary teams every year. Prof. Ross Malaga taught and mentored Morgan and Siegmeister in ENTR 303, and Profs. Jason Frasca and Iain Kerr spent many hours working with the two students as they iterated on 3D print designs of their device in the MIX Lab (the MIX Lab is a resource for any student).\u00a0Morgan’s and Siegmeister’s path to UPitchNJ glory began in Jason Frasca’s classroom when they took ENTR 201 “Entrepreneurial Mindset and Innovation,” which is open to any student of any major.<\/p>\n

“To be chosen to represent 精品成人福利在线 University was humbling,” said Morgan. “Placing third out of all the other schools was a true statement to us as a team that our product has great potential in the future. Outstanding competition at UPitchNJ, and the atmosphere was energizing.”<\/p>\n
