Katherine Cruze, a new BSPH student specializing in public health sociology, is a founding member of MemorEase, an affordable, all-in-one platform designed to alleviate caregiver burden by consolidating essential resources and tools, enabling them to save time and easily access the support they need.
The President’s Buckeye Accelerator supports student entrepreneurs preparing a startup for launch. The accelerator combines entrepreneurship, skill building, mentorship, community and funding, with a structured process.
Cruze and her team — students from Ohio State’s colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Pharmacy and from Boston College — are among 11 competitors. Six student ventures will be selected to this year’s cohort, receive $50,000 toward their startups and be part of a yearlong program to advance their skills.
The finale is 5-8 p.m. April 2 in the Archie M. Griffin Ballroom West at the Ohio Union. To attend the finale in person, RSVP for the event.
