Mary Richardson, left, Brandon Teller, center, and Allan Lehman, right, meet to talk about Bindr, an online dating app, created by Richardson and Teller. The all-inclusive app was the brainchild of Richardson, a Penn State York student-entrepreneur, who worked with Teller, who runs a software company in York. The co-creators of the app met with Lehman, director of the York LaunchBox and the Graham Center for Innovation and Collaboration, to get connected to free resources for entrepreneurs offered through Penn State.
