November 8th marked a milestone at the Venture Development Center (VDC) at Horn Entrepreneurship Official, University of Delaware, where creativity met practical application. Our event was charged with the vibrant energy of aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned experts, discussing two cutting-edge case studies: the launch of a digital event booking platform and a business case centered on data-driven strategies to enhance user engagement. The session was incredibly engaging, featuring robust discussions about performance metrics and innovative approaches to customer feedback loops. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our guest speakers, Manish Kulkarni and Analisa Vizzoni, whose insights were invaluable, and to Amy J. Estey, whose efforts in organizing the event were instrumental. Special thanks to all the MBA students from the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics who showed their commitment to growth—both personal and professional. We are eager to support you as you apply these insights to your future endeavors.
