The ShowerPill Body Wipes

Entrepreneurs: Wendell Hunter, Wale Forrester and Justin Forsett

The ShowerPill is a product and a company started by three former Cal football players out of Berkeley, CA, that aims to replace the shower with a “body wipe.”

Three former college and pro football players were familiar with exhausting workouts, and then skipping out on that much-needed shower afterward created this product.

Proven to kill 99.9 percent of germs, while leaving skin feeling clean, fresh and moisturized like you just stepped out of the shower. Each individually wrapped package was created to be impervious to moisture, bacteria, light and withstand high temperatures.

SnapClips Barbell Collar For Weights

Entrepreneurs: Martin Dimitrov

SnapClips company was founded by a 19-year old from Chicago, IL. His product makes it easier and safer for lifters to secure their weights to a bar.

SnapClips makes swapping and securing weights quick and easy using its patented slap technology. The velcro lock and silicone grip secure SnapClips tightly without damaging the bar or plates, against the weights. Unlike other collars that lose tension, SnapClips never lose their tension and allow you to adjust how tightly they lock onto any barbell.

Their durable collars are made from military-grade Kevlar and reinforced by high strength rubber/fabric blend. The product is designed to withstand thousands and thousands of hours of abuse, uses, drops. SnapClips can stand up the strongman gym, CrossFit gym, toughest powerlifting gym, home gym, garage gym, commercial gym and group-exercise environment. 

The Dough Bar Donuts

Entrepreneurs: Ondrea Siniari and Marquez Fernandez

The Dough Bar encourages people discipline, self-control, moderation and humility and the company believes that with a bit of leniency these attributes can be practiced.

These doughnuts are made from high-quality ingredients and packed with 11 grams of protein. They’re shipped all throughout the US from their bakery in California.

This product and a company from Vallejo, CA, named Dough Bar is created by a couple who bonded over wanted a healthy version of the donut but also working out. The Dough Bar is baked and not fried. It is low in fat and sugar but high in protein.

ChangEd Student Loan App

Entrepreneurs: Daniel Stelmach and Nick Skrzyniarz

ChangeEd provides an app as a front-end to their service that borrowers can use to link the service to their loan servicer and bank accounts. The service withdraws an amount of money equal to the next full dollar, when the borrower makes a purchase with their debit card, and keeps it in an FDIC insured account they maintain until reaching $100 where a payment can be made to the loan servicer.

Founders, Nick and Dan built their business from the ground up by pulling their savings together and working hard to perfect ChangEd for the largest financial crisis of the millennial generation. 

ChangEd aligns with your natural spending, makes small roundups to the next dollar, and applies the accumulated change toward your student loans.
