Human resource problems can be some of the biggest headaches for the smallest of companies. So, PMBA student Sean Rankin and his business partner Aaron Traub came up with a solution. Their fix was so promising that it won the University of South Carolina's entrepreneurial competition, the Proving Ground. Now a year later, Rankin and Traub's company, Huddle HR, is poised to start accepting clients.
This year, six student startup teams will go head-to-head in The Proving Ground and compete in “shark-tank” style at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19 for $50,000 in prizes and startup support. Learn more about the six startup ventures and the finale competition here.
