Bellingham contest gives 54 hours to turn an idea into a business

Filling a need is the goal of any new business, and this year’s 54-hour Bellingham Startup Challenge winning team came up with a solution to a tough travel problem.

The event involves teams competing to turn an idea into a business startup over the course of a weekend. This year’s winner was Access Travel, a business that would have a travel website specifically for those with disabilities.
