The Center for Entrepreneurship in the College of Business Administration hosted EntrepreneuringDays@UNL from Monday, March 11 through Wednesday, March 13 at the Embassy Suites in Lincoln.
The event included two student competitions — the UNL New Venture Competition open to University of Nebraska students and the UNL Global New Venture Competition open to students from around the world.
The UNL New Venture Competition provided students the opportunity to compete in a business planning competition to get feedback and financing for their idea.
Nick Graef, a senior computer science major and business minor, along with Eric Hess, a senoir accounting major, came in 3rd place among the undergraduate teams. Their app allows golf courses to offer promotions and specials to help fill empty tee times, improving earnings and creating customer loyalty. The system also gives golfers a record of their round and lets them comment using the mobile app and an accessible website. GPS functionality permits golfers to see distances to greens as well as hazards throughout the course. For a small fee, the golfer can also review information about his or her round, including where each shot landed.
Congratulations to Nick and Eric for this achievement.
