Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A biotech company founded by Nandini Kanthi and Vrutika Soneji won $15,000 in the 2026 ACC InVenture Prize, where they represented UNC-Chapel Hill with Vaishnavi Kode. The trio also earned $25,000 for a second-place finish in InnovateCarolina’s Joan and Chester Luby Pitch Competition. The company, which initially focused on a smart sticker for endometriosis, has since expanded its scope based on consumer feedback.
