Hammack School of Business<\/a> students Roi Levi<\/strong>, David Povolotsky<\/strong> and Daniel Ocampo<\/strong> received a $500 award and access to entrepreneurship resources from Georgia Institute of Technology for developing a nightlife app called “A Night Out.”<\/p>\n

At a round table competition hosted by Georgia Tech in October, the students pitched their app to a panel of judges. From there, Oglethorpe junior Roi Levi represented the team at a later pitching event that included over 60 attendees and four venture capitalists.<\/p>\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>\n

With a planned release for mid-January, Levi and his team hope to continue developing new features for the app.<\/p>\n

“We are currently in the final stages of development and are beyond excited for what the future holds for us!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":70950,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4554,4552,4565],"tags":[],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-70947","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-featured","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOglethorpe students win innovation award for app development -
