Eytan Gipi
Management/Entrepreneurship, Business Concept: LinguaBeats, an app that incorporates music into language learning methods
“I am an active member of the Lavin Entrepreneurship Program and the ZIP Launchpad. Lavin teaches you the theory of starting your own business and the ZIP Launchpad throws you into the deep end of the pool. This is where you apply theory and create something of your own. I knew I didn’t want to work a boring 9 – 5 career and both Lavin and ZIP offered an outlet to flex my entrepreneurial muscles. They’ve given me the ability to take everything I’ve learned in previous ventures into something I can build in real life. I’m proud to say that’s exactly what I’m doing right now.”
