Press Release
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology senior software engineering major Jeremy Clarke admits that he's "really ambitious" in the June issue of Entrepreneur magazine.
Clarke has launched several entrepreneurial web-based businesses, including two while attending college. This fact has caused him to be featured in Entrepreneur magazine's Biz U section in an article ("Who's Counting?") that examines college students that haven't waited until earning their degrees to start a business -- or two or three.
Clarke, from Middlebury, Ind., launched SharperResults.com, a web resource used as an assessment tool, after arriving at Rose-Hulman and followed that with IndyDining.com, a directory of Indianapolis restaurants, during the 2007-08 school year.
SharperResults.com gives parents and teachers a way to help students review for the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus, the state's annual educational assessment test. The software is being used by many students throughout the state. This year, over 500 licenses were sold to a school in northern Indiana. Sharper Results has also donated licenses to Boys and Girls Clubs throughout Indiana.
Clarke started his first business, a website design company called Vortex Web Solutions, while a student at Northridge High School.
"I'm always looking for new opportunities," the 21 year old told Entrepreneur. "I want to dip my fingers into as much as possible."
Clarke's businesses bring in five-figure sales, according to the magazine.
