April
Winner Celebration!
We
recently celebrated ideablob's April Winner - Matt Allison - at
Penn
State University's Smeal College of
Business. (Check out this video news
report):
Matt,
an economics major (and entrepreneurship minor) at Penn
State, is
certainly making good use of his education. He's the April winner of
ideablob's $10,000 competition. In fact, he's graduating soon - so
he'll have time to pursue his venture. Basically, he plans to
develop a heart-monitoring device for gym workouts.
So what
makes it cool? Well, you can connect the device to the Web, where
you have access to stats, charts and nutritional information. Click
here to see his
idea.
Matt has already determined how he will use the $10,000
prize. "We're putting about $7,500 into the software engineering and
another $2,500 into website development," he said.
In
addition to Aaron Fleishman, February's ideablob winner, Matt is the
second student from Penn State to win the monthly
showdown. Both Matt and Aaron learned about ideablob from their
high-tech entrepreneurship professor, Khanjan Mehta. Professor Mehta
lent his knowledge and expertise to the entire ideablob community as
a Featured Guest Advisor earlier this month.
