Ultimately, this award recognizes the incredible MedSpeed team and our commitment to the mission of delivering health to the communities we serve. ELMHURST, Ill. (PRWEB) February 01, 2021 Jake Crampton, founder and CEO of MedSpeed, received the Chicago Booth Entrepreneurial Distinguished Alumni Award. The award recognizes “an individual who has demonstrated professional achievement of the highest caliber in the management of an enterprise.” MedSpeed has deep ties to The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The business got its start as the final project for a New Venture Strategy course with the original seed of the idea coming from Crampton’s close friend and classmate, Everett Truitt. They entered the idea into the Edward L. Kaplan, ’71, New Venture Challenge. MedSpeed won the competition and Crampton changed his post-graduation plans to launch the company.
