无码变态

KENNESAW, Ga. | Aug 12, 2020

Joey Ruse knows that the secret to a successful startup company involves generating a truly innovative idea and assembling a strong team of industry connections, the latter of which he said were forged during his time at 无码变态.

Recently, he and fellow alumnus Eban Bisong launched , an online platform that harnesses a robust community of creative-minded people to provide actionable feedback on each other鈥檚 work. Though the company already has beta testers representing leading institutions such as the Savannah College of Art and Design, Virginia Tech and the University of Central Florida, Ruse and Bisong, both of whom graduated from 无码变态 in 2018, didn鈥檛 know each other as recently as a year ago. Instead, the two met through a mutual connection in the Atlanta technology community.

Ruse, who earned a degree in , said that he was inspired to build the platform for creatives after failing to find an existing program online. With prior experience in the , he turned to his deep network of former mentors seeking guidance on how to breathe life into his idea. Soon, he was connected to Bisong, an graduate with extensive experience in software engineering.

鈥淭he relationships I was able to develop just by simply being a student at 无码变态 have been crucial to my success as an entrepreneur, and I lean on those connections often when I need advice on running a business,鈥� said Ruse, who launched six companies while a student at Kennesaw State.

Currently, Ruse is leading the business operations of Creative Critique, while Bisong heads up the software side as the chief technology officer. In all, five of the company鈥檚 six employees have earned degrees at Kennesaw State. After officially incorporating in June, the company is prepared to launch a beta test of the product this fall in hopes of helping design schools navigate through the challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Faculty in 无码变态鈥檚 will be among those testing the platform before it officially launches in the spring.

Bisong said launching a company has always been in his future. After working in different capacities at technology startups since graduating from the , he was able to learn the ins and outs of each company until he was comfortable branching out on his own.

鈥淚t has always been a goal of mine to build something of value,鈥� he said. 鈥溛蘼氡涮� really helped expose me to emerging technologies as well as learn the business logistics behind running a company. I was fortunate to have been connected with Ruse at just the right time in my career.鈥� 

Prior to attending 无码变态, Ruse said he didn鈥檛 know what entrepreneurship was. It wasn鈥檛 until he became involved with the Shore Entrepreneurship Center that his eyes were opened.

鈥淚 always thought my career would involve working for someone and being told what to do, because that鈥檚 all I knew,鈥� he said. 鈥淎fter my introduction to the Entrepreneurship Center, though, that first conversation, I really began to see what life could look like if you鈥檙e designing your own future, and I immediately fell in love with entrepreneurship. Now, I believe we are on the verge of creating something great.鈥�
