旧金山大学校友聚焦：雨果·芬克尔斯坦'17
"Without San Francisco,my startup Olé wouldn't have been born!"
雨果参加了旧金山学期program during Spring '16.
为什么你决定去旧金山学习？
For three main reasons 1) my startup Olé was at a perfect stage for the SF program,2) my interest in tech,我爱加利福尼亚州，希望以后能搬到那里。
>什么是OL？é?
Oléis an online marketplace for students to buy,卖掉，在大学社区内贸易和提供产品或服务。
>>为什么人们应该使用olé?
人们应该使用ol_，因为它是一个完全免费的市场，meaning no listing fee or transaction fee.It is also secure and scam-free as it is available only to students (you need an .edu email address to sign up).避免了在Craigslist和eBay上的粗略接触。
>>什么是OLé's milestones and future goals?
We soft launched in 3 schools (beplay官网体育Babson,Northeastern,Boston University) this September,are getting a lot of feedback,are adding features to the app and rolling out to more campuses next semester,as planned in San Francisco
>> How has being in San Francisco impacted your work?
没有SF，去年夏天就不会出生了。旧金山的社交网络非常棒，有如此多的会议和会议，整个创业氛围令人难以置信。The Silicon Tech Ventures class that I took with Mary Gale was amazing for Olé because I was able to tackle every aspect of the startup (interviews,financials,operations,marketing plan).在旧金山工作对我的工作影响很大！
>> What have you learned from working with Olé?
我了解到交流是关键，与朋友一起工作可能很艰难，也会影响友谊。I also learned that balancing school work and Olé is challenging and I need to be very organized so I don't fall behind (both school and Olé).
>> What are some of the challenges andwhat advice do you have for someone working on a startup?
我们面临着许多挑战！We outsourced the development of the app offshore and the time and communication was terrible.尽管价格便宜，it almost took a year to develop our first build.It was also difficult to find a CTO.我的建议是努力工作总会有回报的，相信，and network a lot.
>> Favorite places in San Francisco and things you did for fun?
Twin Peaks,Road trip to Santa Cruz and National Parks such as Yosemite.Hayes Market was great for food and had very cool vibes.
> >Advice for students interested in spending a semester in San Francisco?
去做吧！！！！！这是一次美丽的改变生活的经历。
