Details:

My freshman year of college I entered Northeastern's Husky Startup Challenge with a product concept and business strategy. My venture was the Powder Pro, a powder-based beverage vending system.

​

The appeal of this system was that it would allow protein powder manufacturers to sell their product through my interchangeable canisters as individual servings inside the gym. By selling individual servings, they would have the opportunity to introduce gym goers to their powder without having to convince anyone to purchase an expensive jug or bag of the powder.

​

This solo venture won 3rd prize against 20~ teams of students.
