Four SEAS students earned $8,000 in seed funding, mentorship, and shared space in the UB Technology Incubator as the winners of UB’s Entrepreneurship Lab (eLab).
UB’s engineering majors dropped eggs from the third floor of the Student Union, catapulted ping pong balls into cups of water and held cage-match-style fights.
Software to help companies retrieve files. A deployable wall to protect waterfront properties from flooding. A software platform that makes e-books more interactive. And a device to recover and refine precious metals. These are the business startup ideas that earned four enterprising University at Buffalo students $8,000 each in seed funding.
