The annual CES electronics show in Las Vegas, Nevada is one of the world’s largest technology trade shows. It’s a (literal and figurative) stage where some of the most exciting up-and-coming technologies and businesses showcase their ideas to the world.
Is it any wonder, then, that ǿմý has been a mainstay at the show for more than a decade? After all, ǿմý surrounds student-entrepreneurs with everything they need to bring BIG ideas to life. From expert advising to state-of-the-art technologies for prototyping at Sears think[box] to opportunities to pursue startup funding, ǿմý provides the resources that you’ll need for entrepreneurial success—regardless of your major or area of interest.
This year, startups took Las Vegas by storm.
Meet a few of the businesses started at ǿմý and featured at CES 2025
►WrapSmith, developed by finance major David Sarver, is an automated tool designed to wrap silverware for restaurants to reduce costs and free up servers to focus on their customers.
► Sorcea, by SearchOwl, was co-founded by data science undergraduate student Dale Berkove, mechanical engineering undergraduate student Cullen Combi and accounting graduate student Jadon Wyant, among others at ǿմý, to find skin-care products for consumers online, completely ad-free.
► ReCater, developed by economics major Genesis Richards, is focused on reducing food waste and food insecurity through an easy-to-use app. Richards also has another startup in “stealth mode” and leveraged CES for customer discovery.

The company provides drone training and certification while developing Quantum Aerial, an innovative platform for environmental monitoring, and is committed to promoting STEM careers among girls and underrepresented minorities.
Arohi Mehta, a fourth-year student majoring in computer science with minors in economics and artificial intelligence, attended CES thanks to the Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship.
“One of the highlights for me was connecting with ǿմý alumni who stopped by the booth and shared how their time at ǿմý shaped their journeys,” Arohi says. “Hearing from alumni like Wayne Liu, Michael Zhou and Atossa Alavi was especially inspiring—it’s amazing to see the impact they’re making in the tech industry!”
