Cortical Concepts team members Christopher Komanski, Nicolas Martinez, Evan Luxon, Jason Hsu and Stephanie Huang celebrate after winning the Wharton Business Plan Competition. The CBID Masters team Cortical Concepts won the Michelson Grand Prize in
the prestigious Wharton Business Plan Competition.
Team leader Stephanie Huang and team members Jason Hsu, Christopher
Komanski, Evan Luxon and Nicolas Martinez developed a device to strengthen
fixation of screws in osteoporotic spinal bone, avoiding the
pain and expense of revision surgery to repair loosened screws.
The prize carries with it $20,000 cash and $10,000 worth of in-kind
services.
This is not the only success for Cortical Concepts this season. They also have won first place in the Cornell Venture Challenge, and placed second
in the Cincom and University of Cincinnati Spirit of Enterprise MBA
Business Plan Competition. Tradeshow awards at the University of Manitoba
Stewart Clark Venture Challenge and the University of Oregon New Venture
Championship, and a third-place finish at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln New Venture Challenge round out their accomplishments so
far.
