2010 New Venture Seed Grant Winner

EpaperGlobal New Venture Seed Grants were recently awarded to Wake Forest University students with aspirations to start new social, economic and/or commercial ventures. The seed grant competition, which requires applicants to submit an outline of the proposed project, encourages entrants to think innovatively about how they can use their disciplinary interests to create value and make a difference.

E-Paper Global. The current healthcare system suffers from a severe lack of organization in terms of data collection and storage processes. Waste, fraud, abuse, simple human error and malpractice are just a few symptoms caused by the lack of sophisticated, centralized and smart healthcare information technology. Inspired by these problems, personal experiences and by health policy studies on the campus of Wake Forest, returning student Gavin P. Smith came up with the idea for E-Paper Global. The venture seeks to find ways to combine new and existing technologies for distribution and simplification of health information delivery in real time.

NOTEworthy: In addition, my venture also received a 2010 Chambers Family Fund for Entrepreneurship Grant. The venture is currently beyond feasibility stage and entering concept evaluation and prototyping.

2010 WFU Summer Management Program

I'm excited to report that I was selected to attend the 2010 Wake Forest Summer Management Program. The 5-week program is business-intensive, covering a wide range of topics including:

Lucky 13 Logo The program is capped off by a virtual business simulation over a one week period, allowing for the synthesis and application of all of the subjects covered.

Update: My group, "Lucky 13" is the overall winner of this year's virtual business simulation across all competing groups. I'm proud to be the President of the team. Lucky 13 also consists of current WFU students Trenton Langston, Lexie Zirschy, and Blakeney Brown, along with Daniel Mills (visiting from Emory & Henry).

While it is a massive undertaking, the benefits are unquestionable. For more information on the WFU Summer Management Program, go to: http://business.wfu.edu/default.aspx?id=1184
