Day 15

Today was a serious and productive day, even for a Friday. We spent the morning editing our business plan and finalizing our app designs. Before lunch, we were visited by MKA alumni Angela McCaffrey and Caitlin DiRuggiero, owners of Corefire, a local pilates studio. Both Angela and Caitlin will be sitting in on our final pitch next week, and it was great to run our idea by them and hear their feedback. We ordered in Chinese Wah-Chung for our weekly wrap-up lunch meeting and discussed our plans for next week as we design and practice our pitch. After lunch, one member of our team had a business call with Sujoy Roy, the CEO and founder of VisitDays, a service that colleges use to increase enrollment through mobile engagement. Mr. Roy gave valuable advice on financials, including the expectations for our rollouts, our financial timeline, and our pricing strategy. Meanwhile, the rest of our team wrapped up the week’s work and continued planning for our final week of Startup 101. Our whole team is excited in anticipation of our pitch to investors, entrepreneurs, MKA alumni, MKA trustees, family, and friends next Thursday. These first three weeks have gone by faster than anyone here at Audrey Inc. can believe!
