Penn State Founders Seek Students to Lead Innovative Businesses in Manufacturing and Security Solutions
Two Penn State founders want to turn their work over to a student or team interested in moving their ideas forward as business owners. Both opportunities could also serve as coursework for a class team.

Trendable
Are you interested in finding ways to make manufacturing processes more efficient? Do you love reducing waste and saving money? Trendable is a unique opportunity to run your own company supporting quality improvement programs across every type of manufacturing facility worldwide.
Today’s small manufacturers are getting left behind in the new data-driven economy. They struggle to have visibility into their production processes. The first step to ensure high-quality products is to monitor the manufacturing process. “Monitoring the process” includes collecting and analyzing data on product specifications.
Out-of-spec product needs to be identified quickly… before it reaches the customer! Trendable software apps ensure that the manufacturer delivers only the highest quality product.
Are you interested in taking ownership of this emerging software company that offers quality control applications to manufacturers? Trendable was developed by Tamela Serensits, a quality industry professional.
Apps are fully operational and commercialized. Just step in to start engaging with customers and develop your own marketing strategies. Make your dream of owning a start-up company a reality – today! For more info and an introduction to Tamala, contact Ted Graef at tedgraef@psu.edu
CameraClear
Penn State alum Vance Kemege has developed a unique, innovative, patented solution for automatically cleaning security cameras. After extensive development and testing, he has a market-ready product designed for bullet cameras. There is significant interest from wholesale distributors eager to bring this product to market.
In addition, the patent covers a cleaning solution for dome cameras, which still requires 3D printing, further testing, and commercialization. Together, these two products will address 100% of security camera cleaning needs.
The patent (US and EU) ensures exclusivity in the space, preventing competing cleaning units from making contact with the camera lens, utilizing PCBs, mechanical timers, and includes 18 other claims for broad protection. The patent has over 10 years of coverage remaining.
The product is 3D-printable at a cost comparable to injection molding, simplifying assembly and offering excellent margins. Vance is seeking a partnership with a dynamic team of young engineers who specialize in 3D printing, PCB design, and product development. He would contribute as a technical advisor, board member, and co-owner, while the team takes the lead, refining the designs and bringing the product to market.
