Student Entrepreneurs Highlighted at 2015 Launch DePaul Awards
Six student ventures were featured at the 2015 Launch DePaul Awards on May 5th—a competition hosted by DePaul’s Coleman Entrepreneurship Center that gives DePaul students and recent alumni the chance to pitch their business proposals to professional investors and established entrepreneurs.
The contest featured separate divisions for undergraduates and graduate students. Each division had a first, second and third place prize of $4,000, $2,500 and $1,000 respectively. Nicole Susenburger, founder of HorsePilates, won first place in the graduate division along with her partners Luis Sanchez and Allie Kuopus.
“The best win out of all of this was the amazing friendship we three, Allie, Luis and I, built,” says Susenburger. “Knowing you can grow together, push through and go beyond and above, that’s one of the most amazing experiences I’m taking with me leaving graduate school.”
The second place award went to LingoStone, a software application that customizes the language-learning process. Peikang Hu, a DePaul graduate student and business owner, created the program with his partner, Yanquin Yang, an MBA student at the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. The app uses artificial intelligence to help users learn English by culling from the web reading material that matches their interests and level of language ability.
DePaul’s Entrepreneurship program is an internationally recognized, award-winning program designed for students who are preparing to start their own businesses or who are managing innovative processes in established firms. You can learn more about a DePaul MBA in entrepreneurship here.
