Cal Poly Business School seniors Lelani Torres and Brandon LaRose prepare for a remote/Skype video interview with Web 2.0 startup RememberItNow.com.
The students are conducting interviews with entrepreneurs this quarter, as part of their 3rd-party independent market research, beta testing, and business model analysis for Startup Trek Television Inc.
The 36 students enrolled in “Business 454″, are “learning buy doing”, in accordance with Cal Poly’s educational philosophy (per http://CalPoly.edu) working as independent analysts and consultants on the Startup Trek business plan. They have beta tested the StartupTrek site; conducted competitive research; analyzed the demographics, studied different content types, etc. Some of the students have have now stepped into the role of “student interviewers”, interviewing both local entrepreneurs in person, and distant entrepreneurs via Skype, in order to “learn by doing”, in order to gain additional insights to feed back to the other students in the class.
Thanks, Lelani & Brandon — job well done!
