The inaugural year of the Shark Tank competition at Crowder College’s High School Business Contest was a huge success. Nineteen teams competed in the preliminary round with 5 teams advancing to the finals for the opportunity to win cash prizes totaling $600.
Top honors went to the team of John Rausch & Cale Harper from Monett High School. They created “Joe on the Go”, a portable coffee maker for your car. As the winning team they earned a check in the amount of $300. Second place, and a check for $200 went to Umar Akhtar, Caden Propps & Morgan Schilly from Purdy High School. Their idea was called “Hair Trap” a disposable cover on a hair brush that would clean it after use. Third place, and a check for $100 went to Kortney Cambers and Josh Harris from East Newton High School. Their business idea was called “Dr. Time”, a medical app for smart phones.
The prize money was made possible by the following sponsors: Dr. Scott Godbersen, 1st Choice Chiropractic Center, Debbie Major with Magdaleno IPM, Debbie & Jeff Werneke with Silhouette Imaging, Stephens College, and SMB Bank.
