On March 21, CMU’s community of student entrepreneurs competed for $60K in investments during the final presentations of the McGinnis Venture Competition.  The multi-round competition started in January, and the final round included about 50 students comprising 14 teams.  After the 6-minute presentations, awards were announced.

  • 1st place team is D.Sole, which includes Zilin Zhang (Class of 2024)
  • 3rd place team is ReRoad Robotics, comprised entirely of MRSD students: John Harrington, Ryan Lee, Alex Pletta, and Russell Wong (all Class of 2023)

Please join us in congratulating our five students on a fantastic job!  Special thanks goes to Dave Mawhinney (in photo: top row, 3rd from left), who has been a constant source of support for MRSD Entrepreneurs and a reliable friend of the MRSD program at large.
