We’re #StoutProud of alumna Nikki Hageman '14, whose game BocceRoll was just featured on season 17 of Shark Tank! Nikki, along with co‑founders Ben Fisher and Claude Drehfal, secured a deal from Lori Greiner and Chip & Joanna Gaines after showcasing their twist on classic yard games.We can’t wait to see what Nikki and her team roll out next! From the UW-Stout Foundation and Alumni Association Facebook page.


It (BocceRoll) is a portable yard game mashup, created by her (Nikki Hageman), Claude Drehfal, and Ben Fisher, who all work at Trek Bicycle, a loyal industry partner. How cool would it be to play a game designed by a Stout alum at your backyard BBQs this summer?! Nikki is an alum of the BFA Industrial Design at the UW Stout - School of Art and Design.
