Charlottesville, Virginia – June 24, 2026 – Neal Piper, Founder and CEO of Luminoah, has been named an EY US Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 Mid-Atlantic Award winner. Piper was selected from nearly 1,000 program participants, including 592 finalists across 17 regions, in recognition of his entrepreneurial leadership, innovation, and commitment to improving the lives of patients and caregivers.
In 2020, as Neal’s son underwent cancer treatment and relied on enteral nutrition, the family experienced firsthand how outdated and burdensome current feeding technology remains for patients and caregivers. Inspired by this experience, Neal founded Luminoah to modernize enteral nutrition through connected technology, real time data, and personalized insights.
