Manhattan University Live Stream

The event featured presentations regarding the 12th Innovation Challenge. The Dean of the Oali School of Business provided an overview of the school's history, various majors and specializations offered (including economics, finance, and business analytics), accreditations (such as AACSB and CFA recognition), faculty research contributions, and student extracurricular activities like competitions. The program director for entrepreneurship detailed the structure of the competition, noting that over ten teams were reduced to the final six, and introduced the panel of expert judges. The presentation for the 'Vive View' application detailed a solution to take the guesswork out of nightlife by providing live streams of bars, addressing pain points for both bar-goers and owners, and outlining its technology stack (TypeScript, React Native, SGS). The team discussed their go-to-market strategy targeting college communities and major East Coast party schools, and detailed how potential investment funds would be allocated to hardware, sales/ambassador programs, and marketing. Judges inquired about channel distribution and compensation models for sales personnel.
