Two University of Kentucky (UK) teams with an equine focus recently earned top spots in their respective divisions during a local contest for startup pitches.

The teams–Team Race Assure and Team Serandu–competed as part of the Venture Studio Bootcamp, launched this fall by the Von Allmen Center for Entrepreneurship at UK. Venture Studio is an innovative learning space located in the new UK Gatton College of Business and Economics focused on immersive training for student entrepreneurs. The Bootcamp is dedicated toward learning, team building, and developing a business model for a new startup. Throughout each weekly session, students gained hands-on experience with a real world project. Students had to apply to compete for a spot on a project team. Each project required a variety of skill sets to ensure a cross-disciplined approach.

A project called “Helping Horses Improve Health and Performance” took top honors against 14 other teams Nov. 20 during a Lexington “Stand Up for your Startup” pitch competition and then again at a Dec. 4 University of Kentucky competition. Team Race Assure worked on this project.

Team Race Assure members include Stefanie Pagano, graduate student in BioMedical Engineering; Kimberly Cecere, an Equine Science and Management undergraduate student; and Julia Fabiani, an undergraduate in both Equine Science and Management and Applied Physiology
