The third episode of “Project Pitch It” season 2 on Saturday introduced three new Wisconsin entrepreneurs to viewers, who competed for three prizes. The Northern Star eight-directional compass. They were: Eau Claire-based Northern Star Fire LLC; Milwaukee-based Kiddie Mobile LLC; and Sheboygan-based VibeTech Inc. Northern Star is a small, eight-directional compass that goes inside a firefighter’s facemask. It allows firefighters to maintain their orientation using the cardinal directions while in low visibility situations. “Over my career, I’ve found that there’s a certain problem that firefighters are facing on a regular basis: disorientation,” said Jeff Dykes, owner and founder of Northern Star Fire.
