Donor Universal- Venture from Start-Up Weekend
Donor Universal: New Venture from Start-Up Weekend
We're making the blood donation process more convenient for those interested in donating blood, and we're helping blood banks increase the supply of blood they have on hand.
Who Am I?
I'm still trying to iron out some of the details regarding my "sense of self", but this is what I'm sure of.
My birth certificate reads "Robert Ashton Caucci", I'm an Atlantic City native, I'm getting a BBA in Entrepreneurship and a BS in Business Economics, I'm a resident advisor at 55 John St., and my twin sister, Gabrielle, is my only sibling and I love her to death.
I consider my greatest achievement to be escaping from the complacency and talent trap that is Atlantic City. At the age of 21 I'm a serial entrepreneur having recently launched my first two ventures in the past six months. The first being Effin' Textbooks which is a textbook price comparison Facebook application and website. The second being Reslutions which is an enterprise software type solution that is delivered to collegiate housing departments via "the cloud". This past weekend I participated in Start-Up Weekend, and was part of a 6 person team that developed a mobile application with the purpose of informing potential blood donors when there's a blood bank near them. It is making the blood donation process easier for those interested in donating blood (you'd be shocked at how many fanatical blood donors there are), and we are helping blood banks increase the supply of blood they have on hand.
Despite a very busy schedule, I enjoy nothing more than kicking it with friends and having a good time. I also enjoy snowboarding, passing out on the beach, and traveling. The "geekiest" activity that I thoroughly enjoy is performing opportunity analysis on potential business opportunities.
The most useful experience that I've had at Pace would have to be the Business Plan Competitions as well as the Pace Pitch contest. Leading a team at the Dannon Trust Challenge (business simulation competition hosted by The Dannon Company) was an experience that led to my first, full-time job offer. I am very thankful for all of these experiences!
