About the event
Innovation Labs Spring 2025, hosted by the MSOE Artificial Intelligence Club (MAIC) in collaboration with Juno (formerly TruePrep.ai), gave students the chance to tackle pressing fintech problems while honing their AI expertise. Designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry, the program emphasized creativity, teamwork, and technical excellence -- $5000 prize pool.
One of the standout successes of this collaboration is the recent rebranding of TruePrep to Juno, marking a significant milestone for the company. Notably, through their involvement with Innovation Labs, Juno developed and released a new product, the Tax Reviewer, which was directly supported by an intern hired from this very program. This outcome showcases the tangible benefits of the Innovation Labs in fostering direct industry impact, highlighting how MAIC effectively bridges students with real-world opportunities.
