Rooftop Farming Startup UrbanHarvest Wins UW Student Competition

Why pay for produce to be trucked up from California when you’ve got rooftops that could be converted to greenhouses? That’s the question posed by UrbanHarvest http://urbanharvest.com/ , a startup company founded by two University of Washington students. And as of today, they’ve got a few thousand more bucks in their pockets to help make the dream a reality.

UrbanHarvest won the $25,000 first prize at last night’s UW Foster Business Plan Competition http://www.foster.washington.edu/centers/cie/businessplancompetition/Pages/BPC.aspx , an annual showcase for the best new ideas from business students in Washington state.
