Dr. Aniruddha Ray, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UToledo, pitches his technology, VisioCell, to a panel of judges Thursday evening at the UToledo Business Incubator’s annual Tech419 Pitch Competition.
Competing against four other regional entrepreneurs, Ray won the grand prize of $10,000 in business funding for VisioCell, a handheld device smaller than a cell phone that delivers lab-grade imaging anywhere.
The second-place prize of $5,000 in business funding went to Ben Saddoris with Badger AI and the third-place prize of $2,500 went to Dr. Caroline Humberston with PlayTime Movement. Both the fourth-place winner, Dr. Paul Morris (BG Biologics), and fifth-place winner, Dr. Youssef Sari (Astromode), a professor in UToledo’s College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, each received a 12-month incubator coworking membership worth $1,200.
