Entrepreneurial anteaters
Soc sci alumni and small business owners Andrew Bertolina and Kelsey Minarik illustrate innovation, teamwork and the power of networking
In the world of start-ups, success doesn't just hinge on the strength of a business plan or the determination of the founder. Oftentimes, who you know and collaborate with speaks volumes to investors and potential clients. And when two alumni from UCI's School of Social Sciences form a partnership, both companies are one step closer to success.
That was precisely the case with Andrew Bertolina (right) and Kelsey Minarik (top). Though they didn't know each other as students, the budding entrepreneurs were brought together by the UCI family and formed an unexpected collaboration - one that has helped to develop each of their growing start-ups.
For Bertolina - whose company, Finvoice, provides a platform for small businesses to auction their invoices to investors - that means generating more clients. For Minarik - who produces fashionable and functional medical supplies like compression socks through her company, RejuvaHealth - that means finding the capital to meet the costs of running a young business. And with such complementary needs, their partnership was a match made in start-up heaven.
