Two MBA entrepreneurs from the University of California's Berkeley Haas School of Business have been awarded the school's new Hansoo Lee Fellowship for Entrepreneurs in order to develop a photo app that they have planned.
Winners Romi Elan and Charlie Hughes, both from the Berkeley Haas MBA class of 2014 were selected from 10 applicants, and will pursue their entrepreneurial venture over the summer, instead of a traditional internship.
The photo app, currently called 'Goalzy' and designed to help friends inspire each other in the pursuit of hobbies and interests, won the two MBA entrepreneurs US$5,000 each. The app will allow users to share photographs among small groups of friends with likeminded interests in order to inspire and encourage one another.
"We wanted to help people keep true to their promises to themselves," says Elan.
