In addition to networking with students and learning more about their projects, attendees voted live for the student or team that stood out the most for their entrepreneurial spirit and deep understanding of the problem they were trying to solve. The winner of the Demo Day People’s Choice Award was announced at the close of the event and presented to Rish Kumar ‘24, Tyler Richardson ‘25, and Emily Randolph ‘24 of Mycroactive Microscope. Their microscope prototypes and attention to the needs of students and teachers in the neighboring Bethlehem Area School District resonated with attendees.
As part of Demo Day, Brian Quispe ‘20 ’22G and Sareena Karim ‘22 demonstrated their startups, Ocutrap and Foli-Q respectively, which they both advanced through the Baker Institute’s EUREKA Venture Program before running the ventures full-time post-graduation.
Quispe and Karim are part of a small group of young alumni currently testing out new resources for founders that will be offered through a partnership between the Baker Institute and Lehigh’s College of Business this fall.
