AWARDS

OF

The Spirit of Enterprise Awards is Arizona's premier celebration of entrepreneurship. Each year, for
the past 19 years, the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University has recognized
businesses that positively impact our economy while exhibiting ethics, energy, and excellence in
entrepreneurship. We are thrilled to honor another class of incredible businesses again this year,
including our third Spirit Student Entrepreneur honoring an ASU student running a business while
attending school.

PINNACLE TRANSPLANT TECHNOLOGIES
Recipient of the 2015 IMPACT Business of the Year for an Emerging Enterprise

PTT is a regenerative medical
company with a focus on
improving lives one allograft
at a time.
PTT recognized the need to
establish a processing and
distribution facility that
would enable medical
professionals to acquire quality tissue for transplant.
Located in Phoenix, Arizona, PTT’s newly constructed 24,000-square-foot
processing facility was designed by tissue banking experts to meet the specific
demands of the industry. www.pinnacletransplant.com

NEOLIGHT
Recipient of the 2015 IMPACT Business of the Year
For Student Entrepreneurship
6 out of 10 newborns across the world suffer from jaundice;
it is the largest unrecognized cause of neonatal morbidity
and mortality in the world.
NeoLight is the world’s fastest treatment for Jaundice. It
is made with LEDs instead of halogens, and there are no
side effects. The treatment is quick and babies go home
with their mothers much sooner. Since the infant is treated
close to the mother it promotes breastfeeding and frequent
touching and emotional contact. www.theneolight.com
