The 4th day, Friday, was somewhat similar to Thursday. I started off my day by checking the work that the developers had fixed during their workday. The work looked good so I was able to check off on that progress and was able to prepare for the meetings later in the day. The first meeting I had to prepare for was BruVue which is a company that helps Bar owners monitor the amount of liquid that is being consumed compared to the amount that was actually purchased. Their goal is to reduce the amount of money lost for these businesses which are selling high volumes of liquor. They came to Hyperspace to talk about how they could restructure their backend portal for their clients and business owners. We had a good meeting and are looking forward to helping them get their business back on track.
One of the people who we met with actually owns 28 Jimmy Johns locations, and the office was attached to one of the restaurants. We walked through a door and we were inside of the main dining area. Being the owner he asked us what we wanted and we didn’t have to pay which was pretty cool. This internship has allowed me to gain so many connections with entrepreneurs and other people who I can learn so much from.
The secon meeting of the day was with a company that allows women to find companies that are scored on a 5-star scale on how fair they treat women. They also have a component of their web-app that is an anonymous community and allows women to ask questions that they don’t necessarily want their name to be tied to. They came to Hyperspace in search of an iPhone and Android app so they could expand their ever-growing user base. They currently have 600,000 users and are rapidly growing. Im excited to see where they go, and how we will be able to create something so crucial for the further expansion of their business.
