One of the many unique aspects of the CSUF Entrepreneurship Bachelor’s Degree and Minor is that each student that earns either of those degrees will be part of a team that develops a business plan and some actually progress far enough to launch their business ideas. It’s an amazing process to witness and the amount of work that these students put into these projects is impressive.

For the last three semesters, David DeFilippo, Regional Vice President at Union Bank, has sponsored a scholarship for the team that has the most promising business. This semester the scholarship went to OneMessageID’s team leader Mike Kirtland (pictured above). We here at the Center for Entrepreneurship heartily thank Mr. DeFilippo for his and his company’s generous support of student-entrepreneurs at Cal State Fullerton.

OneMessageID is a very interesting concept that aims to marry each physical address with a unique email address but, to be honest, this concept is best explained by the student-entrepreneur himself (videos below). Suffice it to say, Mike has been one of our most impressive students and we are sure that his extensive amount of skills and experience in this industry will make the launch of OneMessageID one to pay close attention to.

Once again, congratulations go to Mike and his team on their success and a big “thank you” goes out to Mr. DeFilippo for his support of budding entrepreneurs like Mike.
