Wright Venture is an entrepreneurial opportunity modeled after “Shark Tank,” an ABC–TV reality competition series that features aspiring entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of potential investors.
Students in the Raj Soin College of Business devised solutions for everyday problems such as an app that monitors micronutrient levels in pregnant women, an app that combines all of your personal key ring tabs and a device that tackles the world’s clean water problem.
Madzi, LLC, was the winner of the competition and received $5,000 in startup funding. Madzi is a water purifier that kills bacteria and purifies water by using water filters attached to a large bucket. The winning group included Gabriel Adkins-Lamb, Brendan Gallagher, Jacob Jadischke, Samatha Keller and Dominick Pistone.
Funding for the Wright Venture program is provided by the James Family Foundation, the Wright State University Foundation and the Raj Soin College of Business.
