The San Clemente High School Entrepreneur team consisting of 5 students,
was chosen to represent the USA at a
global technology competition involving 37
countries. Hype Youth Startup Foundation
partnered with Ernst & Young choosing
seven finalists to present their product
idea. The theme was, “Innovation for the
Elderly.” The seven countries chosen to be
Congratulations to the
young entrepreneurs
of San Clemente High School
in the finals were: USA, Italy, Romania, Israel (2), Macedonia, and Montenegro. The
judges said it was a unanimous decision
and that the USA team rose above the rest
with a very professional presentation and
because of the viability of their product.
Articles in Italian newspapers agreed (I
have copies of those articles if you are
interested). They will now begin to work
with the European Alliance for Innovation
to bring their product to the next step.
The team has already filed for a patent of
the product with the US Patent Office.
Many kids think that 14-17 year olds
cannot make a difference in their world.
These young entrepreneurs were determined to give it their best shot and they
were rewarded for their hard work. There
was a lot of work that went into creating a
product; market research, demographics
research, creating a go-to-market strategy, and a financial plan for 3 years. They
created mock-ups of the product, a commercial and a PowerPoint presentation
and even filed for a patent before leaving
for Milan. Their website is:
www.MOMmanager.com and they are still
seeking donations to assist them in bringing this product to market.
The students will receive a plaque from
the city of San Clemente Mayor, Chris
Hamm for outstanding citizenship, on the
17th. They will also be getting a letter of
recognition from Governor Brown, and
hopefully recognition from the White
House....still waiting to hear back.
