ITWS students Matt Heffler, Brian Heller, Tom Rozanski and Joe Dougherty entered into the 2011 New York Business Plan Competition at the end of March. Their proposal was for Fire Department Solutions, a non-profit business to develop and sell management software and related services to fire departments; their software was created with support from the Rensselaer Center for Open-source Software . On April 28th they presented their project at the College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering in Albany in the Services/Non-Profit category. They had several meetings with Professors Miner, Hughes, and Kuruzovich regarding their slides and presentation content and found this extremely helpful. The team came in second place for their category and won a cash prize! Congratulations! Matt, Joe and Brian with their award.
