Mojoe, coffee when you want it! Help UMBC Entrepreneurs fund their caffinated innovation

I am a huge coffee addict, and a bit of a coffee snob. Caffeine addiction is a pretty common occurrence among entrepreneurs, especially in the start up phase of a business concept.

I know its summer and not everyone is on campus, but I've been here a lot. The Starbucks is closed, and the other coffee shops close at 3 pm. It would be great if I could brew a fresh cup of coffee anywhere.

I’m not the only one. In fact, a number of UMBC students identified and tackled this problem; Mojoe lets you brew your own coffee on the go.

Mojoe is a travel mug-sized portable coffee maker that heats any temperature water from any source to brew up the perfect cup of joe.

Here’s how it works. You load in your favorite coffee (Zeke’s is pretty good, but Green Mountain may be one of my favorites that easy to find), to the filter, cream and sugar if you’re into that, and hit the road. Add water whenever and wherever you can.

The system powers up, using a rechargeable battery, a 12V car adapter, or a wall adapter, and heats up the water; your coffee is heated to about 200 degrees and mixes in your cream and sugar. After its done brewing, you can comfortably enjoy the coffee directly from your Mojoe.

The founders of Mojoe, Joseph Hyman and Ezekiel Kolajo, have launched their crowdfunding campaign and need your help. I know that times are tough and as a college student money can be tight. In a crowdfunding campaign, I can tell you that every little bit helps. Even if you don’t have cash to invest in Mojoe, the secret to a successful crowdfunding campaign is sharing. We all know people who love coffee…let them know about Mojoe.

In addition to being one of the winners of the first annual CBIC Competition, a senior with majors in Health & Public Policy and Information Systems, Ethan Steininger, Compared Care CEO, has been getting a lot of attention. 

Compared Care was a featured presenter at this week's Tech Breakfast in Columbia and was just highlighted in a Technical.ly Baltimore article. 

Recently, we sat down to discuss his company and to get some words of wisdom from Steininger. 


1. Tell us a little about your company, and what makes your business 
unique?

High medical bills are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. A primary cause of this is the lack of price and quality transparency in the medical industry. Two providers in Maryland can charge significantly different prices for the same procedure with the same quality of care. Patients typically do not know the cost or quality of a procedure until after they receive the bill. 

A better, more transparent way to shop for healthcare is clearly needed.

With Compared Care, you can research your procedures before committing, in order to make more intelligent medical decisions. We take into account the user's required: proximity, budget and quality of care to find the most suitable procedures conducted by the best providers. 



2. Are there classes on campus that have helped you the most?

Compared Care is a coalition of many experiences throughout my academic career. From the managerial aspect learned from IS 300, to the user interface and user experience concepts learned from IS 303, there hasn't been a single most important class.

Many of my Health Administration courses have made me more aware of this price/quality disparity, and the need for my proposed solution.

My Entrepreneurship class gave me the push to pursue my idea, as was facilitated by my professor's insight.  



3. What are some resources that have helped you the most? 
(Magazines, Books, Websites…)

The 4-Hour Work Week is a must read for any aspiring entrepreneur, it teaches you how to efficiently use your time in order to work on the most important things. 

Dale Carnegie's classic: How to Win Friends and Influence People should be read by anyone who seeks to communicate with anyone on a professional level. When showcasing and presenting my start up, the skills learned from this book are essential in order to draw my audience's attention. 



4. What is the toughest decision you have had to make in the last 6 
months?

Whether or not to delay my graduation.
I decided I would not cram my final course into this last semester because it is arguably the most time consuming.
 


5. What advice would you give other student entrepreneurs?

Don't be afraid to share your idea. Too many aspiring entrepreneurs are so afraid of sharing their idea for fear of somebody stealing it, but their are many myths to this.
  1. Anyone your sharing with probably has more important things to do.
  2. Idea is arguably the least important component of a successful business. Execution is all that matters (Look at the Snuggie and Pet Rock)
  3. Getting your idea out there allows for more expansive critique, which is your most valuable asset at the start up stages. 
  4. Marketing is essentially sharing your business (which is imperative), so you have to start somewhere which brings me to the next and easiest starting point:

Get a Landing Page now!!
Have an idea? Register a domain, get a landing page up, collect emails, start an email list, and survey your list, but do not spam.

Tamara Peters, from UMBC’s Imaging Research Center, led a team of researchers to study historical documents and create the 3D map.

Peters discussed the use of technology in the cutting-edge representation. “We are so used to today living through our smart phones and our iPads,” she said. “I think this is just a natural way for people of this generation to learn and to be exposed to things.” 

“Bearings of Baltimore Circe 1815″ is on display at the Maryland Historical Society.

In her article in the Sunday Book Review titled “That Amherst Belle,” Ellen Handler Spitz reviews two new children’s books: Eileen Spinelli’s “Another Day as Emily,” illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff, and Burleigh Mutén’s “Miss Emily,” illustrated by Matt Phelan. She notes the two books “strive to create, by very different means and with different results, a sense of the poet Emily Dickinson as a person.”

Spitz writes the two books do a good job of introducing readers to Dickinson’s “eccentric persona,” but an opportunity is lost because none of Dickinson’s poems is printed in full in either book.

Ellen Handler Spitz has written frequently about children’s literature for The New Republicand is author of “Illuminating Childhood.”

Name: Larry Wilt       
Hometown: Buffalo, NY, USA
Alma Mater: Binghamton U (NY State)

1. Where do you work in the library and how long have you worked there?
Began in 1981. Director since 1990.

2. What would you like the campus community to know about your job?
A 21st century Library Director has to live in (think creatively about) two places at once: virtual space, to which resources and services are migrating, and physical library space, to which real people come expecting to find supportive work environments.

3. What’s your favorite aspect of working at UMBC?
There are many interesting people here.

4. Do you have a favorite project, event, or memory from your time working in the library?
This dates me as an old-timer, but my favorite project was introducing personal computing to the Library.

5. If you were/are a student here, what library services would you use and appreciate the most?
The group study spaces in the RLC, and also the online full-text information resources.

6. If you had to survive on a desert island with only one book, movie, or TV show, what would it be and why?
A desert island survival manual. “Why?”  Really?

7. A wizard has turned you into your favorite animal. What are you?
A human. Second choice: Tyrannosaurus Rex.

8. Anything else you’d like to add?
