One of my co-workers, Lynn Wright, graduates with an MBA from the Option II program at the UT Business School this semester. Part of their curriculum included participating in a Moot Corp competition. Well, their moot corp has turned into a viable business deal for them - they just won the $100,000 grand prize at the International Moot Corp competition. You can read all about their product here or here. In short, the company is currently called Private Concepts and will manufacture and market a cervical cancer screen that would replace the pap smear and could be done in the privacy and comfort of a woman's home. Pretty cool, huh?
