Paneling Startups:

KANU

The peer-to-peer campus marketplace fueled by entrepreneurship education. A safe and secure place where student ideas, services, and products earn money and invaluable business experience.

Pointz

Pointz is a safety-focused mapping app that leverages crowdsourcing for micromobility riders – think "Waze" for safe bike routes. Our app navigates riders through safe (low-stress, low-traffic) routes in cities. Roads are rated on a 1-5 bike friendliness scale based on the rider’s comfort level. In order to provide value upfront, we built the “Pointz bot” to identify complex sets of attributes from available datasets to pre-rate roads. Our riders can add ratings to unrated road segments and suggest edits for roads that have already been rated.

MediCircle

MediCircle revolutionizes healthcare equity by connecting unopened medications to patients in need. We collect leftover oncology pills, recertify the medicine’s quality using a comprehensive, proprietary, three-step quality assurance process, and redistribute the medication to financially burdened patients at little to no cost.
