Congratulations to Laurelle Banta on another win! The MSL alum is part of NUMiX Materials,, which won first place and $30,000 at Northwestern University’s VentureCat competition on Wednesday, May 23. The Northwestern University water-purification startup formed in Farley Center/ISEN’s Winter 2018 NUvention: Energy course, and in a short, ten-week period evolved enough to make a successful bid at the 2018 Rice Business Plan Competition (RBCP). NUMiX advanced to RBPC’s semi-final round and eventually took home the $50,000 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Energy Prize before winning big at VentureCat, Northwestern’s annual student startup competition.
