Host Karl Ulrich hosts a very special episode of Launch Pad, speaking to eight semi-finalists from the Penn Wharton Entrepreneurship Startup Challenge. If you’re not familiar, this is where our students spend the year building a company, and then enter our competition where they pitch their company to accomplished investors. They will be competing for 135-thousand dollars in cash and prizes. In Part I, we speak with: Haley Russell, Chipper Pet Food; Seth Neel, Welligence Energy Analytics; Michael Wong, Instahub; and Shanel Fields of MD Ally.
