Pitching your business to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is no easy feat, but it helps when you’ve practiced your elevator pitch a number of times beforehand, says Northeastern alumnus and researcher Richard Ranky, co-founder and CEO of 3-Spark, LLC. Together with Distinguished Professor of Engineering Constantinos Mavroidis, academic specialist Mark Sivak, and doctoral student Lexi Carver, Ranky spun off 3-Spark from Northeastern’s Biomedical Mechatronics Laboratory. The company specializes in 3-D printing technologies for the education and consumer markets and was accepted into the 2013 MassChallenge program. Ranky offered to share his experience starting 3-Spark and how the university helped turn his doctoral dissertation into a business.
