Big news on the student entrepreneurship front: Roadmap has officially graduated from the Koffman Southern Tier Incubator! This dynamic team of innovators has turned an idea born during Friday night brainstorming sessions into something truly impactful—an AI-powered coach designed to help people with ADHD overcome procrastination and tackle tasks with confidence.

Roadmap’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. What began as a group of friends from Binghamton University dreaming of “making something cool” has grown into a globally recognized startup. This year, the team clinched third place in the Microsoft Imagine Cup, competing against thousands of teams worldwide and earning $50,000 to fuel their mission.

Roadmap was founded by Clay Battle, a senior at Binghamton University’s Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science, alongside co-founders Ever Goldin and Aaliya Jakir. Together, they have elevated their idea to remarkable heights. Reflecting on their journey, Clay shared: “We used to look at the wall of Koffman Graduates and dream about being up there. Now, we’re part of that history, and it’s surreal.”

Thanks to hard work, creativity, and mentorship from Eric Krohn, Koffman’s director of business incubation programming, Roadmap has proven that small ideas can grow into big achievements. Congratulations to Clay and the entire Roadmap team—we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next!
