Hank [BS/MSEE,
MSM $$$, Ph.D. Mgmt] teaches 
In yesterday’s Burton D. Morgan Business Plan competition undergrad division, three of the five teams had members who were either current or former students of mine [ENTR200].
John Mullen[who also won the undergrad division of the recent elevator pitch contest - $2,000] along with AJ and two other engineers won the whole enchilada [$20,000 first prize] with their entry EcoDisk.
Daniel Poynter and his team took second with Digital Learning. And third with the red shirt in the center of the three students, is Ryan Wilsey, a current ENTR200 student. Their entry, Unstoppable Learning took third. The guys behind Unstoppable Learning have a web site here where they blog about their “experiences” in bringing life to their idea.
Fifth place and $1,000 went to current ENTR200 student Jeff Carr and his teammate for Recruit-Cast. Max Showalter has a complete rundown in today’s JCOnline here:
You all made us in the Entrepreneurship Certificate Program @ Purdue proud! [Ryan provided the photo-thanks!] Hank
PS: My apologies to my noon class students who didn’t read Moodle before class yesterday 
Congrats to all of the participants and the winners! It’s encouraging to see that entr200 students are placing well in these competitions and that students can bring to life their ideas.
Congrats to all participants, it is a great honor to win something like this. Also it helps out with the costs I know that I could have used something like this to help pay for some of my products expenses.
Congrats also!!! I think it’s great that you guys won! This sounds like a great experience to have gone through. I’m glad to know that these ideas are really going somewhere.
Awesome job everyone. It’s really cool to see people coming out of this class and actually putting what they learn to use.
Congrats to everyone who participated in this event~!~!
Good job Ryan. I really think that’s a great idea! Maybe next time you can get Richard C. to smile.
Congrats to all!! Great Job!
Great job to everyone! It was inserting getting to watch some of the presentations.
Congratulations to all who placed, especially those in the ENTR200 course! I got to see one full business plan presentation and part of another - very well-rehearsed. I was impressed by what I saw, and that definitely reflects well upon the certificate program.
Congratulations! These guys must have had some good professors!
As a participant in the competition I thought it was a great learning experience. I wish I could’ve done better than 5th but just placing was a big accomplishment for someone who has never developed a business plan before. It was a lot of work but, and I learned some things from the judges that will help me implement my business.
Amazing, good job ryan!
We had two placers from the noon class! Represent!
Congratulations to the winners, but more congratulations to Hank. 3/5 = 60% pretty good odds. Hank is like the Phil Jackson of Entrepreneurship. ~John Fodor
Congrats to the winners! Pretty cool that some who placed are in 200.
Congrats to the winners! I like the Phil Jackson comment….
wow that is so cool! way to go!!
Its great to see that some of our classmates are actually going somewhere with their ideas. Congrats to everyone and good luck in the future with all of your ideas.
Congrats to all of those who placed! The ENTR200 students that placed are a great encouragement to current and future students of the class & certificate program.
Aw, congrats to all the participants. I’m sure that they’re businesses are going to be great investments.
Congrats to everyone who won, and got their ideas out there. Also special congrats to my team member Ryan for Unstoppable Learning!!!! Great job!!!
Nice job everyone! Way to represent Purdue and the ENTR program!
On behalf of team Unstoppable Learning, I have to say that it was a real honor and privilege to be involved with this awesome competition. Our [magical] hats go off to the other teams, and especially to the EcoDisk group. It was amazing!
I was still shocked (and honored) that you canceled class to be there to see all of us pitch our ideas!
For fun, here’s a couple of photo links…

Well done Ryan, hopefull you’ll be able to carry this idea forward and help those students who really need it!
Congrats to all the winners! It is pretty awesome that two people came from the noon class–way to represent! I love seeing all these amazing ideas and how we have such an opportunity here to find people to support and teach us. We are definitely blessed to have such a great program at Purdue. All these ideas and people winning competitions and such makes me wonder what will happen in the future when many of us go our separate ways and then the next “big thing” comes out and it is actually someone we knew from Purdue ENTR so many years ago
Congrats!!! you deserve it… sounds like you have been working very hard!!! its a great idea and i hope you find much success!!!!
I recommend these Burton D. Morgan competitions to everyone. Not only are their cash incentives, but the experience is invaluable. I wish I could have stayed and watched the other competitors, but from what I hear everyone did a great job, congrats to everyone.
Great Job!! It is really cool that we had so many winners from our class!! You guys worked very hard!
Lol, it looks like the fellow on the left is sad to part with that check.
