Stumberg决赛
in the fall semester
Through the entire summer, there was a big attitude of encouragement from the other teams. We all approached the summer hoping to build our companies, not compete with each other.

Change is in the air for the 2021 winners of the Stumberg Competition—literally!

We founded PATCH with the idea that we can help people who are suffering. People’s lives shouldn’t have to revolve around medication, but for those who need it, PATCH can be part of a better solution.
The Stumberg Legacy
The Stumberg Venture Competition honors the legacy of the late 圣安东尼奥 businessman and civic leader 路易斯·H. Stumberg.
A food industry pioneer, in 1946 he co-founded Patio Mexican Foods, a company that took frozen Tex-Mex foods nationwide. Mr. Stumberg was a dedicated member of 赌博娱乐平台网址大全's Board of Trustees and held leadership positions with numerous organizations such as the 圣安东尼奥 Chamber of Commerce, United Way of 圣安东尼奥, Bexar县, Alamo Area Council of Boy Scouts, and as mayor of Terrell Hills and a civilian aide to the Secretary of the Army. He gave generously of his time and treasure and was instrumental in helping build 圣安东尼奥's business and civic life.
