Twenty-five teams will compete virtually later this week in the University of St. Thomas-hosted e-Fest competition. The event will award more than $215,000 in prizes to jumpstart their business ideas, ranging from energy-harvesting vehicle shock absorbers to a hyperpigmentation-relieving deodorant designed for women of color.
