Two MSU Blackstone LaunchPad ventures place in competitions, win prize money

Two entrepreneurial ventures that are participating in the 406 Labs business accelerator program at Montana State University’s Blackstone LaunchPad have won prizes recently in national and state-wide competitions.

MSU alumnus Michael Fox and his mobile app company, DugalHealth, won the grand prize in the Mobileys competition, which was held this fall in Washington, D.C. Fox won for DugalDiabetes, a mobile app that helps individuals with Type 1 diabetes manage insulin dosing.

In addition, MSU students Sam Kern and Aidan Weltner won second place in a statewide competition in Utah, The Bright Skies Innovation Contest, for their mobile app, ShareLift, which facilitates ridesharing to ski resorts.

Fox, Kern, Weltner and their products are deserving of the recognition, according to Les Craig, director of the Blackstone LaunchPad at MSU.
