Project Experience

Spruce.ly Ecommerce | BUS 310
September 2020 - December 2020
In my introduction to entrepreneurship class, my group and I worked towards creating an enviromentally concious ecommerce site. We went through a few different iterations before settling on a final idea after a few rounds of customer interviews and Instagram ad campaigns. After building our minimum viable product, we launched the site and used Hotjar analytics to test our business model and validate assumptions. At the end of the semester, we created a pitch video which won ExEC's Yearly Process Pitch Competition. You can see more here.
