Our Story
This idea started out as our senior capstone project as part of our Mechanical Engineering degree at Lafayette College. Our team consisted of six members (from left to right, pictured below): Garan Comfort, Brian Kaufmann, Antoine Amblard, Andrew Chilicki, Michael Anzilotti, and Israel Montero.
Whilst conducting preliminary market research for Lafayette's Big Idea Pitch Competition, organized by the Dyer Center for Innovation + Entrepreneurship, the team realized our product has many possible applications. A second-place finish in this competition further sparked our excitement and led the two of us to continue to pursue this idea through the Dyer Center's Bergh Summer Accelerator program, over the summer of 2021.

And so, VIMSIM was born.
