The project is the culmination of all the work we have put in as entrepreneurs throughout our time in Stern’s BTE program. I am incredibly proud of the product my partner and I created.

I’ve benefited enormously from these conversations and strived to contribute to the Stern community as an upperclassmen orientation leader and peer mentor."
