Two Montgomery County companies each took home the top prize of $100,000 in their category as part of the 2014 InvestMaryland Challenge.

Bethesda-based life sciences company, Brain Sentry, won for its helmet-mounted sensor used to identify team sport players who should be evaluated for a concussion. Gaithersburg-based IT company, ClickMedix, won its catergory for technology aimed at helping physicians and health organizations maximize the number of patients they are able to serve.

Both companies were also recipients of the Kauffman FastTrac award entitling them to enroll in any FastTrac course and receiving a copy of the new Kauffman release -- "Chance & Intent: Managing the Risks of Innovation & Entrepreneurship"
