Here's another entrepreneur and another startup inspired by the collegiate experience. Picture this: You've been accepted to school. You wonder, what's our dorm room going to be like. Brian Rider's company, Digital Wingman, has the answer.

Using his modeling service, Rider creates 3d models of dormrooms that can be provided on college websites. And indeed they are being provided. Students can start planning their decorating even before getting to campus. As of this writing, 18 universities have signed on as customers. This is just one, very large application for Rider's service. Think apartment buildings, too.

It's no coincidence that Rider created the business - he truly exudes the spirit of entrepreneurship. It's kind of a code for him, a belief system. You get a sense that this is just the first of several innovative business concepts to come from this up and comer.
