Jeremy Dean, Blaire Chilcoat and Amanda Stewart, all seniors in the College of Business, expect their company to be fully operational in five years.
Second place and $15,000 went to business student Edwin DuBois, College of Education student Arnel Rolfe and their associate Allen Cater for their financial services firm, Tax Brothers.
Third place and $10,000 went to Paul Passmore, a graduate student in the College of Business, for Figlist.com, a searchable database of local churches.
