    OKLAHOMA CITY — Student entrepreneurs from Oklahoma State University claimed first place in both High Growth divisions of the recent Love’s Entrepreneur’s Cup competition that included almost 40 teams from campuses across the state.

    The winning teams were revealed in the Love’s Cup Awards Dinner at the Bricktown Events Center in Oklahoma City.

    A concept from an OSU team called Bubble Calm, which is marketing a chewing gum that relieves anxiety, claimed the $20,000 first prize in the High Growth Undergraduate division

    In the High Growth Graduate divisions, Paldara Pharmaceuticals from OSU claimed the $20,000 first prize with a business plan built around a microbial gel used with existing catheters to reduce urinary tract infections by up to 99 percent.

    A third team from OSU, One-Voice, took second place and $10,000 in the High Growth Graduate division.

    A team named Ex-bac from East Central University won the $10,000 first place prize in the Small Business division. Ex-bac pitched a concept of a medical grade gel proven to kill harmful bacteria as an innovative method of disinfecting medical equipment without damaging expensive electronics.
