A $100 StartUp Project

Last week, Dave Mawhinney, Managing Director of CMU’s Open Field Entrepreneurs Fund, issued a challenge to two Pittsburgh entrepreneurs: build a new business in a week, for $100 or less. Mawhinney gave Adam Nelson and James Lomuscio, $100 in cash to complete the challenge.  The result WhatShouldIEatInstead.com, a web service that connects people to nutrition counselors to get instant answers to diet questions, and find healthy substitutes when the craving for junk food strikes.
