Nicholas Marinelli gave himself a goal when he enrolled at Seton Hall University in the fall of 2017.
“When I was a freshman, I made it a personal goal to create a startup before I graduated,” he said.
Marinelli more than accomplished the feat.
Earlier this month, Marinelli was the big winner at the 11
th annual Pirates Pitch Startup Contest, where university student entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to compete for over $16,000 in venture capital seed funding in an event sponsored by Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Stillman School of Business.
Marinelli was awarded $7,000 for his Extra Time Training App, which allows soccer players to train smarter, harder and more efficiently on a cutting-edge platform that tracks their tactical and fundamental performances. Marinelli also earned the $500 Audience Choice Award.
