Jover takes first place in the Startup Track and wins Best Overall Business Idea in the Annual Westchester University Business Idea Challenge.
Jover claimed first place in the Startup Track and took home the Best Overall Business Idea award—proof that a powerful idea with heart, style, and purpose can rise above the rest. More than just a pitch, Jover delivered a message: mobility should be empowering. While traditional walkers signal limitation, Jover redefines them as tools of confidence and independence—where style meets function.
Jover co-founder Kristen Hyatt said, “This win is a validation of the idea that mobility can be reimagined, that style and function can coexist, and that a simple yet powerful idea can change lives for the better.” Many people see a walker as something they have to use, rather than something they choose to use. Jover flips the script: it’s not about surrendering to mobility challenges, but embracing independence in style.
The competition spanned three intense rounds: a detailed written proposal, a compelling two-minute video pitch, and a live presentation before a respected panel of judges—including entrepreneurs, advisors, and investors. Jover impressed at every stage. What set Jover apart? A bold vision to destigmatize walkers and turn them into expressions of personality. One judge, who personally faced mobility challenges, praised the team for shining a light on this often-ignored need.
This is just the beginning. With momentum from the win, Jover is ready to grow, reach more users, and reshape what mobility looks and feels like. Winning first place in the Business Idea Challenge is an incredible achievement, but the real success lies in the impact Jover will have on everyday lives. Because mobility isn’t just about movement—it’s about confidence, choice, and living fully.
