Boston College TechTrek Undergrads Visit Silicon Valley

For the second time this year, a group of ambitious Boston College students made the long journey to the West Coast to visit tech companies in the Bay Area, including eBay, Google, Social Text, and others. WePay was fortunate enough to host the group for a few hours last night.

Unlike last time, this was a group of undergrads (rather than grad students).  I was AMAZED at how sharp and knowledgeable they were.

During a QA session, one of the students said: “You guys have a group of 24 people in your target demographic sitting in your office. What are the biggest problems you’ve faced while trying to acquire new users, and do you think you could benefit from a group brainstorming session?”

Suffice it to say that the two hour brainstorming sessions that followed was one of the most helpful we have had since we founded this company. We learned a ton about student clubs and organizations, collecting dues for campus groups, splitting expenses in 8-person apartments, etc.

It was an awesome visit, and we are excited to keep in touch with them.

Join these students and visit WePay. Give us a try, it’s free to sign up!
