Grow Maine Show Interviews Former UMaine Hockey Coach About Startup
Dan Kerluke, a former associate head coach for the University of Maine hockey team, was a guest on the Grow Maine Show where he spoke about the startup he co-founded to create a hockey goaltending analytics app. Kerluke started Double Blue Sports Analytics with David Alexander, who was a UMaine goalie coach, and Tim Westbaker, a computer programmer and UMaine alumnus. Kerluke also mentioned Jesse Moriarity, coordinator of UMaine’s Foster Center for Student Innovation, who has been with the business from the beginning and has helped them expand. The company is a tenant of the Target Technology Incubator, an Orono facility that was developed by UMaine and the Bangor Target Area Development Corporation to provide an environment for business development and commercialization activities for innovation-based startups. Kerluke also participated in the Top Gun Entrepreneurship Acceleration program, which is sponsored by Blackstone Accelerates Growth and hosted by the Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development.
