Tonight, as part of the Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship's Fall 2013 Idea Competition, 10 student entrepreneurs pitched their ideas to a panel of seasoned entrepreneurs, all UMBC Alum, and a full house at the Sportzone.

I don't envy the judges and students who determined the outcome. Every idea was pretty remarkable and had the opportunity to win. But, in the end...there can be only one.

Well, actually, there are two first place winners.

Best Idea: Kryan Richardson & Percy Addo with InSOURCE

Best Presentation: Perry Ogwuche, HACKaTHON

2nd Place: Titus Jones, Chatseats

3rd Place: Jennifer Lasbury, Speakedu

Other ideas included:

Markus Proctor with BrainCAD, a thought driven CAD program

Emily Schultheis trying to make 3D printing available to students

Mohammed Danish Akbar with Instaride, a carpooling alternative for students

Abdulhadi Al Ruwaithi with the SJ Helmet, an airbag motorcycle helmet

Cody Kenlak with Dynamik Beats, a mood & activity driven music player
