10 projects by UTA students won awards at the university's latest MavPitch competition. The top winning pitch snagged $40,000 for Store Sense, a software solution tailored for gas station store owners. Check out all 10 winning startup concepts.
UT Arlington students have bright business ideas—from hydrogen-powered drones to 3D-printed concrete homes to K-pop themed T-shirt lines. The university shone a light on 10 of them—along with $185,000 in total funding—at the finale of the MavPitch Business Competition.
“We use the generous awards and other resources to encourage, grow, and mentor these fledgling student-run firms,” says UTA's Jeffrey McGee.
$61,000 in total MavPitch Award funding was awarded to the startups, which include a maker of 3D-printed homes, a designer of hydrogen-powered drones that can fly for six hours; an after-school day care service that focuses on technology overuse by kids, and more.
