At the Green Venture Entrepreneurship Contest at the Tuck School of Business on Saturday, first-place finisher Alison Stace-Naughton '11, who developed what was initially a prototype for an introductory engineering course into a practical tool to prevent tissue damage in endoscopic surgery, received a prize of $25,000.
The prize awarded to the company came from a pool of $50,000, which was split between the first, second and third place winners, as well as six honorable mentions, according to Stace-Naughton.
Stace-Naughton's product is a vacuum-assisted tissue stabilization tool to help prevent stomach movement during endoscopic surgery.
