Slice Capital, a mobile-based equity crowdfunding startup that lets individuals invest in small businesses, made it to the final round of Inc. Magazine’s “Coolest College Startup” competition.

The company, founded by students at Wharton and Rutgers, has received legal assistance from 3Ls Matt Klahre and Stanford Ponson through the Entrepreneurial Law Clinic.

Both Slice and a second clinic client, Windigo Turbines, made it to the Final Four of the competition, where the crowdfunding startup defeated the wind-energy concern, which was launched by engineering students at Drexel.

Ultimately, Slice lost the final round to Ephemeral, a company launched by students at New York University who have developed a tattoo ink that can be easily removed.

Inc. selected the original pool of 16 startups for the competition from a list of more than 100 companies launched by students at universities across North America.

“We’re pleased but not surprised that two of our clients gained recognition for the originality of their ideas and the growth potential of their business,” Entrepreneurial Law Clinic Director Steve Rosard said.  “It’s a reflection of the robust startup community in Philadelphia that we’re very happy to support.”
