Michigan Engineering Entrepreneurship: DoGood iPhone app makes it easy to do a good deed daily

07/01/2009 College of Engineering

Despite the flagging economy, the spirit of entrepreneurship is thriving at the University of Michigan College of Engineering. You can see it in burgeoning student businesses.

Student-run company Mobil33t has developed the iPhone application DoGood, which pushes a good deed out to users each day. More than 15,000 people have downloaded the app as of July 1.

Mobil33t is one of a dozen student-run businesses calling the new incubator TechArb home for the summer. In the basement of a downtown building, the young entrepreneurs share space, equipment and ideas.

Entrepreneurship is an important part of the education at Michigan Engineering.
