  • Made-to-order Nigerian women’s fashion line

The finalists in the traditional business track include:

  • Vegan ice cream
  • Men’s grooming
  • Researching health related impact of hemp
  • Personalized sports website and application

The students will begin presenting their ideas in a “Shark Tank”-like setting to the judges at 1:15 p.m. with winners announced at 4:30 p.m.

The competition will be judged by two representatives from Brady Corporation: Thomas Feldner, president of workplace safety, and Katie Milbeck, Innovation Incubator senior manager. Two Marquette alumni will also judge the competition: Asim Khan, co-founder of ZYN Holistic Wellness, and Marianne Szymanski, founder and president of Toy Tip, Inc. and entrepreneurship professor at the University of Southern California.

The Brewed Ideas Challenge is sponsored by Brady Corporation and programmed by The Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation Initiative.
