Colleen emails, “One of our recent winners, HigherMe, has two founders from Babson, Rob Hunter (left) and Evan Lodge (center), both MBA’14. HigherMe, a job-search site for retail and hourly workers, was one of more than 500 applicants that made it to our final eight, receiving $600,000, along with incubation and mentorship in Buffalo. Also, Lauren Budzich ’19 and Bessie Shiroki ’20 recently interned with us. It’s been fun to grow the 43North-Babson family here.”
