Roi Levi presenting app at Georgia Tech pitch event<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n“It was my first time up on a stage surrounded by lights and cameras and a giant screen behind me…but I am very proud of the way it worked out,” said Levi.<\/p>\n
The Oglethorpe team walked away from the event with $500 in funding to continue developing their app.<\/p>\n
Levi cites Oglethorpe’s Atlanta Laboratory for Learning and its staff as a huge resource for the venture.<\/p>\n
“I went to the A_LAB more times than I can count,” Levi recalls. “…Oglethorpe has been nothing but helpful to my partners and [I] and we feel very fortunate to have the support and backing of all of the faculty and staff of this university.”<\/p>\n
Levi, Povolotsky, and Ocampo decided to develop the app after noticing how “disorderly and disorganized” it can be to gather friends for a night out. Levi says his liberal arts education played a role in his team’s decision to create the product.<\/p>\n
“The liberal arts education is one that forces you to challenge your beliefs and think critically…instead of accepting ideas, we are encouraged to challenge them and, in turn, challenge ourselves.”<\/p>\n
“A Night Out” is an app aimed at the current generation of college students that enjoy a night in the city. The app has the ability to gauge the activity of a city’s nightlife using a proprietary algorithm. Additionally, it can allow friends to create “parties” that allow members to keep track of one another. An SOS feature can alert any other members if there is a danger.<\/p>\n
Recently, Levi was also named Acting President of Oglethorpe’s Entrepreneur Club, which was relaunched this year. Hammack School of Business Senior Lecturer David Nasser<\/strong> has agreed to be the club’s faculty sponsor.<\/p>\nWith a planned release for mid-January, Levi and his team hope to continue developing new features for the app.<\/p>\n
