On April 23, the Baker Institute brought together students, staff, faculty, alumni and local Lehigh Valley entrepreneurs to celebrate student entrepreneurial success.


The big event was the Joan F. and John M. Thalheimer '55 Grand Prize pitch competition where three teams pitched for $5,000. Those were:


- A Sneakerhead’s Paradise (Nazr El-Scari ‘21 and Eliza Wastcoat ‘20), a subscription-based service offering access to limited

edition shoes at retail price.


Gavel-It (David Pochapin ‘19), a social media platform that allows for people to settle their everyday debates.


Preff (Dom Allen ’20, Cameron Cipriano ’21, Jack Cunngingham ‘21, Will Peracchio ’21), a dedicated social media network that facilitates in-person meetups and leads to hyper-focused advertising from restaurants.
