The inaugural University of California, San Diego $50K Entrepreneurship Competition ended Saturday, June 9 with a $30,000 cash award to San Diego-based start-up Omega Sensors Inc.
The competition was started by UCSD graduate student Nicole Truitt and UCSD undergraduate Neha Patadia.

Five finalists were given 20 minutes to present their business plans and field questions from nine members of the San Diego tech community.
