Today on Entreprenrurs en Vogue, we are closing out an era. As a final guest, Iman speaks with her longtime friend and fellow female entrepreneur Logan Cohen. Why would students need motivation beyond the grades? That’s a question Logan asked herself until she met her founder, and it opened her eyes to a new world - and a need that was not fulfilled. They created Kudzoo, an app that rewards students who get good grades. Logan talks about all the behind-the-scenes work you need for a reward-based app, tricks for getting funding, and above everything else - believing in yourself.
