Idaho’s next generation of entrepreneurs faced off on Wednesday in the Idaho Entrepreneur Challenge, hoping to win a competition among 24 of the state’s top future business leaders. Students representing five Idaho universities and colleges competed to earn funding, mentorship, and recognition.
Adam Stock, a student at BYU-Idaho won the competition, representing Cargo Made EZ, a company that designs and builds motorized tiedown strap systems by using high-torque motors and kevlar straps for professionals with flatbed and small trucks. Stock took first place in the Manufactured Goods Track before winning the overall title.
