NEAM Technology Solutions was founded in November 2022 by a team of Shaw University students and alumni with a shared dream: to leverage technology for positive change. Our journey began with the development of University Hub, a mobile app aimed at enhancing student life at Shaw University. The app was designed to centralize resources, improve communication, and streamline the campus experience, setting a new standard for how students connect with their academic community.
Our defining moment came through the Main Street Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program, offered in partnership with Wake Tech Community College and Shaw University’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center. On May 3, 2023, we became the first Shaw University students to ever win the program’s prestigious business pitch competition, taking home the first-place prize of $25,000. This historic win was more than just a financial milestone; it was a breakthrough for student entrepreneurship at Shaw University. With the collaboration and mentorship provided by Shaw’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, we demonstrated that students can transform bold ideas into viable businesses. Our success has inspired a new wave of entrepreneurial ambition within the Shaw community.
Our journey has been about more than just building a company—it’s been about shaping the future of entrepreneurship at Shaw University. By becoming the first students to win the pitch competition, we showed our peers that entrepreneurship is not just a distant dream but an achievable reality. Through collaboration with Shaw’s entrepreneurial programs, we’ve set a precedent for what’s possible when innovation meets determination.We are proud to have played a pioneering role in fostering a culture of entrepreneurship at Shaw, paving the way for future student entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams.
Winning the competition provided the resources to establish NEAM Technology Solutions as a professional software development company. Since then, we’ve expanded our offerings to include Software Consulting, Software Development, and Website Development, delivering innovative solutions to businesses across industries. While our roots are in academia, our vision is global—empowering businesses and communities through technology.
Our history is a testament to the power of collaboration, community, and determination. With the support of Shaw University, we’ve proven that innovation and entrepreneurship can thrive anywhere when given the right opportunities. Our story is not just about building a company; it’s about inspiring others to take risks, think big, and create solutions that make a difference.
As we grow, we remain deeply connected to our Shaw University roots and committed to the values that inspired our start: innovation, collaboration, and excellence. Our journey continues with a mission to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and to use technology to make the world a better place.
