Ep 005: Connect with People That Matter w/ Eric Bunnell

Eric Bunnell is a highly motivated student and start-up
enthusiast. He is double majoring in Finance and Marketing at the
University of San Diego. To quench his thirst for innovation and
creativity, he plans to begin his career in the technology
industry, learning from established and successful companies.
Eric’s objective is simple: to create products and services that
makes people’s lives easier, better, and more productive.


Currently, Eric is the CEO and Founder of Unifyed; a
student-to-student network/social platform designed to unify our
college communities.


 
WORST MOMENT

The founding team had a tough decision on the direction. Unifyed
started as a classroom productivity tool. After testing
prototypes with students, we realized that students really don’t
care about being productive. We started pivoting and ran into the
case where the founders would have different opinions on which
direction we should go.

Entrepreneurial Superpower

Straight excitement, passion, and love for what I’m doing and the
people I’m doing it with.
Kryptonite

Getting caught up with emotional ecstasy and don’t even realize
that I’m talking for 20 min and didn’t give that person a chance
to say anything. He goes Hulk status with his passion and may
cause destruction along the way.
IF YOU CAN HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER…

Hands down teleportation.
