Austin Peay State University 2024
The Patton Foundation returned to Austin Peay State University (APSU) for its second annual Entrepreneurship Challenge, a “Shark Tank”-style competition open to all APSU students. Six finalists presented innovative business ideas aimed at solving real-world problems.
The $5,000 grand prize went to MomentMuse, a journaling app designed to promote mindfulness through guided reflection. Second Place was awarded to Money Monologues, a personal finance program encouraging open conversations about money. Third Place went to Chaotic Minds, which develops products to support individuals with sensory sensitivities.
The event followed a kickoff keynote and virtual workshop series designed to equip students with essential entrepreneurial skills.
