“Hi everyone! I wanted to share a “good news” story about one of Ridgewood’s graduates, Ashley Eapen, who was recently interviewed by FORBES about her In/Spree App, which is changing how people can shop (since “it takes a village”, I thought our village would like to know about the good one of our own is doing). She managed to juggle starting this up while finishing her senior year of high school (I was her teacher, and she asked me to share this :). PLEASE take a moment to share and support our local girl!

How Two Entrepreneurs Leveraged Their Youth As A Strength, Not A WeaknessMatt Hunckler

For many young founders, youth works against them. Seasoned investors want to work with entrepreneurs who have started and sold numerous businesses.

Young founders often find it difficult to secure funding.
This harsh reality makes the success of young Brendan and Ashley Eapen all the more surprising. The entrepreneurial duo recently made news by raising $250,000 to fund their new app In/Spree, which makes it possible for users to follow their favorite fashion influencers and then purchase clothes directly within the app.
