The Challenge
Nolnk knew there had to be a way.

Recognizing that businesses need greater access to data, Nolnk develops custom software for wireless handheld devices. So whether you're a traveling salesperson or a doctor on call, you can access critical data from a personal digital assistant at your convenience.

It was a great idea for these three Rose-Hulman students and the market was ripe. So what was Nolnk's dilemma? How to take that product to market. They had limited resources and weren't really sure what other support they might need.  

The Result
In addition to providing the start-up company a place to grow, Rose-Hulman Ventures also provided computer infrastructure and support personnel.

Support personnel weren't enough to meet client demand. Nolnk needed additional technical staff. Utilizing RHV Dollars, a credit line for Rose-Hulman Ventures' internal technical resources, they contracted with some of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's top-ranked computer science students to assist in the development of the product.
