It's kind of like start-up with training-wheels, where the U backs most of the initial investment costs. EIA is a program that is near and dear to the Beta.MN team not only because we firmly believe in its "learn-by-doing" matra, but also because it is where the three of us met, almost ten years ago. The program has produced a host of local up-and-comers (nod to [PerkHealth](https://www.beta.mn/portfolio/perk-health/)), and this year's bunch is no different. Alexandra Feeken leads the newest start-up to come out of the program, a company called [Endle](https://www.beta.mn/portfolio/endle/), which has set off to address wandering problems for the elderly. But don't take my word for it, here's what she had to say about her company and product... **Reed: Alexandra, tell us how and why your team started Endle?** Alexandra: Endle, LLC. was born from the *Entrepreneurship in Action* (EIA) course at the *Carlson School of Management*, where over the course of two semesters students compete to start a company that is eventually funded by the program. During the fall semester, my team discovered a common problem of wandering for people who live with Alzheimer's and Dementia. To prevent this issue, and to locate a person after they have wandered, Endle is bringing wearable technology to the elder-care market, via a service model. **Reed: Love it. I know you are young, but any successes to date?** Alexandra: We just became an LLC. in December! And we are looking forward to turning on the business model in the next few weeks. **Reed: Where do you see Endle in one year?** Alexandra: After the spring semester is complete, we will have the opportunity to move forward with the company, if we choose to do so. In a year, it would be great if we were selling Endle products in every state. **Reed: Fair enough. Go get 'em Endle! We'll be cheering for you.** Year after year I am impressed by the ideas and talent that come from the EIA program. Please help me in supporting our youngest entrepreneurs by coming to Beta.MN - 1.0.
