Brock students Madi Fuller and Dan Giddings are set to spend their summers as full-time entrepreneurs thanks to the Deborah E. Rosati Entrepreneurial Scholarship.<\/p>\n
Each year, this unique scholarship provides two Brock University students with $10,000 in funding that allows them to spend an entire semester working on their business ideas in partnership with BioLinc, Brock\u2019s business incubator run by the Goodman School of Business.<\/p>\n
The scholarship is generously provided by Brock graduate Deborah Rosati (BAdmin \u201984) who has shown incredible dedication to supporting entrepreneurship at the Goodman School of Business.<\/p>\n
Fuller and Giddings are both set to work out of BioLinc\u2019s facility for the next four months and will reap the benefits of a network of support that has been built up around the scholarship opportunity.<\/p>\n
Fuller is co-founder of Campus Brainiac, a web platform and mobile application that simplifies peer tutoring, which won awards at Monster Pitch<\/a> and Blueprint<\/a> competitions earlier this year. A new milestone\u00a0in Campus Brainiac\u2019s development is a partnership with Free the Children, which will see a percentage of each tutoring session\u2019s proceeds donated to the charity.<\/p>\n Giddings is working on his idea for a more ergonomic design of a consumer product and is in discussions to purchase the necessary patents and trademarks.<\/p>\n Both will be spending their days refining their business plans while meeting regularly with an advisory committee made up of business leaders who have stepped up to offer their expertise.<\/p>\n Fuller and Giddings are both grateful for being given this unique opportunity to spend a full four months focusing on their respective ventures.<\/p>\n \u201cThis award is an amazing opportunity for me to be able to focus the next four months on my business idea. Without Ms. Rosati\u2019s support, I would not have been able to dedicate the same amount of time to my business,\u201d Giddings said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brock students Madi Fuller and Dan Giddings are set to spend their summers as full-time entrepreneurs thanks to the Deborah E.
