Caleb Renner of Klemme took home 3rd place at the 2024 University of Iowa’s Venture School Launch Day held last month.
10 teams from across the state of Iowa competed in the event which was held at EntreFEST, a two-day entrepreneurial conference in Cedar Rapids. A total of 37-thousand dollars in prize money was awarded.
Renner won the 3rd place prize of 6-thousand dollars for his business, Renner Ag Solutions, and his invention, the AgriNet.
The AgriNet provides a safe alternative to grain bin sweeps, eliminating the need for farmers to enter the grain bin during the clean-out process and saving both lives and limbs.
Renner is currently a student at NIACC.
