Of the 13 Women Changing the Face of Product Development in Chicago, according to mHUB, two are recent ISE alumna!
Congratulations to Fiona Kalensky (BSSED 2018) and Angelica Czarnecka (BSSED 2019)!
Kalensky is the winner of the 2018 Mottier Challenge for Therapalz, a company still going strong. Therapalz, according to mHUB, is "a patented therapeutic robot that provides a multi-sensory experience for patients while allowing their caregivers to monitor their loved ones."
Czarnecka, Kalensky's college friend and fellow entrepreneur, entered the COZAD New Venture Challenge in 2018 with SnugMug. Her current venture is The MicronMask—"a first of its kind reusable strapless face mask designed with three key focus areas in mind: Comfort, Effectiveness, and Sustainability", according to mHUB.
mHUB is a hyper-resourced environment to create the conditions for physical product innovation to thrive, resulting in new business creation, revenue, investments, intellectual property and jobs.
ISE salutes its many entrepreneurs!
