SMU’s Top Entrepreneurs are Heading to the ACC InVenture Prize Competition

Some of SMU’s best and brightest innovators are set to represent the Hilltop at the ACC InVenture Prize Competition this April – an innovation competition where undergraduate teams from each ACC university pitch their inventions or businesses for the chance to win $30,000 in prizes for their company.

This year, SMU will be represented by TIMIO News, a set of AI tools that identify fake news and recommend articles with different viewpoints, empowering users to navigate the news media landscape with confidence. The team is led by Founder and CEO Josh Baier ’24 (left), alongside Campaign Manager Justus Woods (middle), and Lead Designer Abbie Ellermeier (right). The team was selected after winning an internal SMU pitch-off at the beginning of January.

This year will mark SMU’s second year competing in the ACC InVenture Prize Competition. In 2024, SMU was represented by SteadiSpoon, founded by Raleigh Dewan (’23) and VP of Operations Mason Morland (’24).
