| FROM Tulane Freeman Admissions Blog: The Lepage Center Is Buzzing |
 Oliver Martin, BSM/BA 2020 While working at the Lepage Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I have been opened up to the vibrant entrepreneurial activity at Tulane. The Lepage Center is buzzing with hundreds of resources. The hardest part is choosing which one to pursue. Should I compete in the Business Model Competition? Or the Novel Tech Challenge? Should I join the Tulane Venture Capital Club? Or the Green Bull Investing Group? There are infinite options, and the important thing is finding the right one for you. I love working at the Lepage Center because we are right at the center of it all. Prior to working at the Lepage Center, I didn’t even realize that Tulane offered all of these entrepreneurial opportunities for students. Now, I struggle to pick which one to pursue. Lately, I have been leaning towards joining the Tulane Venture Capital Club. Another asset that the Lepage Center provides students with is its ability to make connections. Students from all of the different programs of Tulane come in to our office looking for help with their ideas and start-ups. The Lepage Center does a terrific job at connecting these individuals to combine their skillsets. Recently, I was able to connect with a Lepage Center alumnus. We discussed the internship process, and I was able to gain some valuable insight about possible opportunities and places to search. Now, I have a much better idea of how and where to pursue internship opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the opportunity that the Lepage Center has provided for me, and I think that everyone should capitalize on it as well. Come into the Lepage Center today and see all of the great opportunities we can help connect you to. |

| FROM Tulane Freeman Admissions Blog: Cotton Candy and Conversation about Family Business |
 by Pranay Sakhrani What is “Cotton Candy and Conversation?” On October 27th the Tulane Family Business Center- with help from the Lepage Student Fellows- held a Outreach Event entitled “Cotton Candy and Conversation.” And yes, both the cotton candy and the conversations were quality. The purpose of this outreach was to identify the students who come from a “family business” background, as they often go unidentified. The Family Business Center wanted to use the outreach event to market their first “Meet and Greet.” Almost everyday I see a table outside the LBC, so when I was tasked with marketing the “Meet and Greet” I instantly thought about having a table set up. Each table normally had their own gimmick or incentive for students to come up. I thought, “What would attract the most people, regardless of age or background?” The answer was elementary; Cotton Candy! Through Mrs. Roz, the assistant director of the Family Business Center, we found a cotton candy operator and he allowed us to use his cotton candy machine to attract the interest of walking students. The operator provided us with the machine, some sugar, and lots of cones. However, we still ended up making our own cones out of copy paper as the demand for our cotton candy was so high. Which, in reality wasn’t a bad thing. I had a great time swirling up the cones while taking in all the different types of students strung together by one common factor; family business. Once at the table, students would fill out a short questionnaire, then claim their treat. The questions were created to figure out the demographics of the students who come from or are affiliated with family business. Each response was saved and the total came out to nearly 70 responses. 60% of the responses were from freshman, and 40% of the responses said they did come from a family business. We then complied all the students emails who were from a family business and sent them invitations to the meet and greet, along with a link to RSVP. By sending out the email invitations with the RSVP link, we were able to target the right student demographic and get an accurate number of people who would be attending the “Meet and Greet.” Also, I got to meet a pup! |

| FROM Tulane Freeman Admissions Blog: Student Entrepreneur Spotlight: Ryan Baker, BSM 2020 |
By Oliver Martin Lepage Fellow Oliver Martin working with Ryan Baker on perfecting his submission to the 2018 Tulane Business Model Competition Ryan’s Hometown: Harrison, New York Major: Entrepreneurial Management, Marketing Year of Graduation: 2020 Entrepreneurial Idea: A digital marketing platform that allows direct marketing for local business through a voting and rewards system What interests you about entrepreneurship? The risk. The reason I find risk so interesting is because high risk is usually paired with high reward. To be able to access high rewards, I realized that I needed to minimize my risks, while maximizing my rewards. I view entrepreneurship as guidelines/teachings to maximize rewards and minimize risks, which in the end give someone the best chance at success. What are some of your achievements in entrepreneurship? I recently started working as a Business Analyst Internship with MyRentHero, a start up from a Tulane alumnus who has been teaching me how to take an idea to market. I am also currently working on my own start up that is a digital marketing platform. Through working on my startup, not only have I learned a lot about the startup world, but I have been able to meet a lot of new people who have been helping me through the process. I plan to use the connections I am able to create through my website to develop future professional relationships. Do you have any advice for other student entrepreneurs? My advice is to read The Lean Start Up. This book completely changes the way that you think about startups. Instead of the classic approach, this book emphasizes more trial and error in the process of starting your own business. Additionally, you should not hide your idea from everyone because that is where all the best advice will be. Don’t be afraid to go to your local resources for help. Throughout my process of starting my own business, I have been able to gain many valuable insights from outside help. Giving your idea exposure can be the reason it takes off. |
