Hatchlings Selected for The Hatch 2015

Eighty student applications were narrowed to ten of the best business ideas to compete for investor funding in The Hatch^™ 2015. The Dallas-Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership announced the 10 Hatchlings at the Global Entrepreneurship Week event on November 20.  These Hatchlings are paired with an Alumni Mentor to make a business presentation in April to a panel of Falcon Investors in an event similar to the hit television show “Shark Tank.”

The Hatchlings include the following students and their business ideas:

Michael Cervantes - operate a Hibachi food truck in northwest Ohio targeting 20 – 30 year olds.

Meredith Keller - develop an app for monitoring Cystic Fibrosis.

Mark Kohn – start up “U-Beequity”, a beekeeping business.

Matthew Snider – design TRIck Shot, a three-in-one game table for Cornhole, Hillbilly Golf, and Beer Pong.
