Stumberg决赛
in the fall semester
Through the entire summer, there was a big attitude of encouragement from the other teams. We all approached the summer hoping to build our companies, not compete with each other.
Stumberg决赛
The winners of the 2023 Stumberg Competition are taking a more holistic approach to women’s wellness. After months of intense work and a compelling pitch to a panel of expert judges—澳门金沙线上赌博官网 alumni, community influencers, and business moguls—women-led startup 好而有价值 won the fan favorite award and $25,000 grand prize for their app, which provides each woman with a personalized wellness and lifestyle plan via a menstrual cycle-based approach. Congratulations to Ashleigh Reese ’26 and Sofia Ortiz ’24!
We founded PATCH with the idea that we can help people who are suffering. People’s lives shouldn’t have to revolve around medication, but for those who need it, PATCH can be part of a better solution.
