It all started as a hobby driven by a simple fact: “94% of tap water in the United States contains microplastic fiber.” Now, alumnus Max Pennington (CWR ‘22), and fourth-year students David Dillman and Chip Miller are co-founders of a business with cutting-edge, patent-pending technology that could transform the way the world uses water.
In September, Case Western Reserve University welcomed 32 advanced degree students and early career professionals from around the world to think[box] for an immersive weekend of programming. Participants were situated into eight teams of four. The groups—made up of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including research and development, finance, entrepreneurship and more—were tasked with identifying a problem or need in the market, inventing a solution to address the need and designing a business to support it in a healthcare marketplace. The teams have just four days to work through their ideas, develop concepts and pitch their final product or service to a panel of judges.
