                                                                 February Success Story:
                                                                      Kevin Kreger

                  Kevin Kreger, co-owner of Kallows, Inc., local attorney and SBDC client, is a business
                  plan contest winner for the third time!

                  Kevin and his partner, Gajanan Nagarsekar, Ph.D. student at UWM, started Kallows,
                  Inc. to address medical monitoring for people in remote areas without access to criti-
                  cal care facilities. It is a mobile health start-up developing applications and peripher-
                  als that work with “smart phones” to monitor cardiac fitness and health.

                  Kevin and Gajanan entered the UWM School of Business’ business plan contest in
                  hopes of getting seed money to fund continuing development. As part of the contest
                  process, Kevin attended several SBDC workshops. He was very impressed with the
                  counselors and their business knowledge and decided to become a client.

                  During the next several months, the SBDC assisted Kevin with market research, com-
                  petitive analysis and online product benefits research.

                  When the pair completed their business plan they entered it in the UWM Business
                  Plan Contest, BizStarts Milwaukee Business Plan Contest and the 2011 Wisconsin
                  Governor’s Business Plan Contest. They were winners all around – first place in the
                  UWM and BizStarts contests and second place in the Governor’s contest, providing
                  them welcomed funding and visibility.

                  Kallows continues to work with the SBDC to refine the plan. They are also working
                  with the WEN Southwest Regional Director to pursue other funding avenues. Their
                  planned markets are both domestic and international, one initial market being India
                  where they both have close ties, as is represented by their website logo – an Indian
                  youth whose face is painted in the colors of the Indian flag, representing the future.

                  As Kevin puts it, “The SBDC has been such a tremendous partner, mentor and edu-
                  cator, helping us every step of the way. They have connected us to invaluable sup-
                  port resources that we would not have found on our own. The SBDC is a key element
                  to our continued success.”
