Lumen, 1st Place Winner (2014)
"[Winning JSC 2014] was an interesting experience and a very delightful one. All the sleepless days and restless nights spent on building the product and the presentation were acclaimed in just a few minutes. We didn’t take it as a success but as an invitation to continue developing, as it seemed we were doing something right."
"JSC put us in contact with Investors, VCs, Angels and a ton of other people in the field of Startup Business. Multiple distribution partners have actually been found in the room, during the few competition days."
JON LOU, 2nd Place Winner (2014)
"[We would advise other groups to participate in JSC] without hesitation. First off, it’s a prominent business competition filled with industry leaders, strategic partners, and press. We met investors who connected us with further investors, as well as key individuals for our company. We were also featured in Germany’s leading newspaper! Secondly, participating in Northern Germany’s largest business competition is something companies can point to. We certainly do - JSC’s logo is still on our fundraising deck. Third, the students who attend Jacobs and set up JSC become your friends for life. I still keep in touch with my hosts and have plans to see them very soon. Finally, why wouldn’t you want to get a chance to fly to Germany? Bremen is a gorgeous and history-filled city that excites even the well-travelled. I hope to get a chance to visit again, as it left a mark on me, for sure!"

Localgag, 3rd Place Winner (2014)
"Finishing in third place at JSC was a rewarding experience both in terms of the prize money and also through the experience we gained by participating in the competition. It was great to find out that the judges supported our business idea and believe it has the potential to be successful, which is reflected in the fact that we were awarded a prize."
"We would definitely recommend participating in JSC. Of course, it is great to be one of the teams to have won prize money, but even without that it was a great experience. It was really interesting to learn about the products on offer from the other teams since there was such a wide range of ideas. We would advise teams entering the competition this year to make sure they have a clear vision for their product, including a specific target audience, and to practise their pitch to make sure they stand out from the other teams."
