[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Zach Sanderson planned to test the waters of entrepreneurship during Startup Weekend Cedar Rapids. Instead, he fell in the deep end.
“I pitched it with the idea that I was going to practice,” he said. “I certainly didn’t expect to come out of it with a company.”
Sanderson, a systems administrator at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics by day, pitched an idea for digital baseball cards that fans could collect. By the end of the weekend, Major Trading Cards had evolved into a full customer loyalty startup for minor league programs to lure fans to games. The team walked away with the weekend’s top prize.
