蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Students to Compete in Statewide Business Competition April 3-4

VALDOSTA — A pair of Valdosta State University students will compete in the inaugural 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 InVenture Prize competition, a statewide invention and business contest, April 3-4 in Atlanta.

Christopher Powell and Bradley Henry, pre-engineering majors at 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站, will present PowellTech, an electronics startup they founded in October 2018 that transforms how televisions integrate into existing home décor.

Their creation will be judged against inventions and business solutions from teams representing 18 other colleges and universities across the state. The teams that advance to the final round will present their work to judges and audience members during a live event that will air on 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Public Broadcasting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 4.

Powell and Henry have been guided in the development of their startup company by staff and faculty from the Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business Administration. Dr. Matthew Kolakowski, assistant professor of management and healthcare administration, and Jeffrie Shipley, computer services specialist and faculty advisor for 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Enactus, have provided the team with all the resources needed to start a business, including expert coaching and mentoring, peer networking, lessons on product development and business models, shared office space and equipment, and more.

“The Langdale College of Business Administration has long been a hub for 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 students from all majors, backgrounds, and interests to receive high-quality entrepreneurship education and mentorship from our experienced faculty, and we are proud of what Christopher and Bradley have created,” Kolakowski said.

The 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 InVenture Prize competition is presented by the 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Department of Education, University System of 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站, Technical College System of 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站, and 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 Public Broadcasting. The purpose of the contest is to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and startup creation within the state.
