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.
