NuSpirits
NuSpirits is "The Healthier Nightlife!" a revolutionary nutrient enriched alcohol. Other alcohol robs consumers of necessary nutrient levels leading to hangovers, headaches, sluggishness and other body aches and pains. NuSpirits alcohol replenishes your essential nutrients. NuSpirits Vodka is enriched with our proprietary blend, which provides you the opportunity to have a healthier night and have a great next day.
SandyClocks
SandyClock provides task-driven labor scheduling and monitoring solutions. Its patent-pending cloud-based and mobile-enabled solutions enable on-demand task scheduling, on-the-spot task punch in/out, real-time labor monitoring, and labor data analysis. It is founded in 2014 by a WSU CS faculty.
Unifine
The Unifine whole grain flour milling system has been under development at WSU for the last sixty years. With consumer demand locally milled whole grain flour skyrocketing, WSU Design Clinic teams have updated the milling system design, the first of which is completed and will begin operating soon.
Vertical Garden Sustainability Center (VGSC)
Vertical Garden Sustainability Center (VGSC) is a social entrepreneurship investing in local food security, sustainable practices, and innovative technologies within our community. We combine several new and ancient technologies to grow organic vegetables, herbs, and fish in a closed biological nutrient cycle that has been shown to be as much at 13 times more productive than intensive soil agriculture on the same footprint. VGSC was conceived over two years ago but is only now coming into fruition.
Phytelligence, Inc.
Phytelligence is the first plant/agricultural spin-off from WSU founded on validated technologies developed over the last 8 years in response to agriculture industry's critical need of obtaining ready-to-plant and guaranteed true to type plant material.
