We make chewing gum designed to help boost concentration and memory. I first came up with the idea while I was a senior at UC Berkeley studying molecular and cell biology. I read a study about how certain aromas could enhance performance and took this idea and along with a few carefully selected herbs and a bit of caffeine to make Think Gum. I am now a graduate student at the Stanford University School of Medicine getting my PhD in Immunology. Think Gum LLC first began selling gum at the end of 2007, right when I started grad school. Now, almost 2 years into things we have sold well over a million pieces in gum and generated nearly $100,000 in revenue.

Meet Andi Enns
I am a sophomore at Park University (Kansas City, Missouri) and I am one of the youngest PR & marketing consultants in the country. I work with a variety of clients nationwide, some on retainer and some on project-by-project basis. This clients include yoga studios, public speakers, skincare boutiques, and more. I started out at age 16 with social media. I already had web programming knowledge, and helping a friend with his MySpace profile gave me an idea. So I launched a business designing and maintaining professional MySpace profiles. Over time, this evolved into the full services I offer today. My previous media coverage has included Yahoo HotJobs, national radio show Whiz Ventures, NBC's Kansas City Live, popular industry blog Repman, and many more. Please feel free to contact me at andi.enns@yahoo.com or 816-739-9930.

Will Work For Food
WILL WORK FOR FOOD was started 2 years ago by students at the University of Michigan. WILL WORK FOR FOOD's slogan is Volunteering Locally to Save Children Globally. Our aim is to motivate high school and college students to find a any volunteer project of their choosing and someone to sponsor their efforts (family, friend, themselves, corporate, etc). The money that they raise volunteering is given to our affiliates, Doctors Without Borders, to purchase and distribute the nutritional supplement Plump'y nut in areas of need. To date we have raised +$12,000 and have over 700 participants nationwide.
We are close affiliates with Doctors Without Borders, recognized by the Clinton Global Initiatives for Universities, a runner up in the prestigious DELL grant, and the recipient of various Google grants. We have gained media attention across the country for this innovative approach to social and global welfare.

Inspiration for the Young Entrepreneur
Are you on a mission? Do you have a vision? Are you itching to get your name out and make a difference in the world? If you answered NO to any of these questions–that’s okay.
It’s time to get inspired.
The opportunities to connect with millions of like minded people are limitless through the power of the internet. Social media has made it incredibly easy to meet people who want more out of life than the average person you’d meet walking down the street. It’s not that every person online is inspired or on a mission–it’s the ones that stand out who are. The people who reach out to you, who you seem drawn towards, who are intriguing to talk to, are the ones who are doing the leading. The conversations they are having make them leaders, make them popular and make their businesses grow. They’ve achieved this success online because…
They took the leap.
It’s time to stop thinking and start doing. It’s time to open your mouth or moving your fingers to have real conversations with real people. Want people to know about your brand? Your Twitter search better be streaming at all times, tracking your industry. Get into the trenches and start conversing, answering people’s questions and finding people who have the same passions you do. It’s this network of people who will grow your brand for you.
Don’t know what you stand for?
Start meeting other inspired people. The biggest leaders will shout from the rooftops to get the message out about what they believe in. Reading blogs and surfing Twitter are great ways to get to know people who love what they do. Starting taking notes from these people who are completely lost in their work.

Bright Eyed Entrepreneur
My name is Martin Simms, and I’d like to introduce myself to you as one of the co-founders of Bright Eyed Entrepreneurs. Even in the midst of this difficult economy, opportunity abodes for those willing to take risks and work hard to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
BEE Partners (Bright Eyed Entrepreneurs) is a PR/Marketing consulting company comprised of four liked minded students/ emerging entrepreneurs that have established a way to make our own internship/job. We are all 4th year college students that have attained knowledge of a number of business operations and are ready to use them.
In the current economy, we recognize that it can sometimes be difficult to attain the exact job/intern you desire. Often, people settle for a job that they never had any aspiration to do. We truly believe that doing what you are good at and what you love is the key.
In order to be competitive In today’s marketplace, education must be complimented by experience. As we set out as young entrepreneurs building our business we’ve adopted a unique philosophy we believe will help us achieve long-term success. We work at low and sometimes no-cost with struggling companies to assist them with their PR and Marketing campaigns. The companies we help reposition are able to give us college internship credits.
Our approach enables us to dramatically discount our services. By using quick and effective guerrilla marketing techniques we’re able to attract new clients in a difficult marketplace. Although we initially are not making as much money as as our services are worth, our incoming business will generate future profits and customer loyalty that will enable us to thrive as we move forward.
Aside from our business to business Marketing and PR campaigns, we are also currently working on the following projects:
1. Deep Discount Coupon Booklet for Cal Poly Pomona Students (Attached Sample Cover)
2. The Good Life-Simply good food. An affordable quick service restaurant that has a guilt-free menu (Healthy food doesn't have to be expensive)
3. A book from the minds of students written for students about some of the misrepresentations of college, and some concepts and ideas to be aware of that may help a student progress in college and life.
6 Reasons we started this company
-To gain experience, knowledge and skills to be able to start our own large scale firm and innovate the industry with our entrepreneurial mindset
-College internship credits
-Resume Booster (self-starters, Experience)
-Gain experience working with a variety of businesses
-Networking
-We are energetic young entrepreneurs committed to success
-Help struggling companies to succeed (Help do our part to enhance the economy)
