A Student Business Graduates...
In March of 2005, I wrote a piece that mentioned a struggling student room-cleaning business at Harvard run by Michael Kopko that had sparked campus controversy. Two years later, I read recently that Kopko has just won the New England section of the Global Student Entrepreneurs Awards.
Here's the announcement:
BOSTON, May 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) -- the "Heisman Trophy" for the top undergraduate student business owners -- held its New England regional competition for 2007....
The winner of the New England competition was Michael Kopko, founder of DormAid and student at Harvard University. DormAid (http://www.dormaid.com) is a service that helps students enjoy their studies by handling the downsides of student life -- laundry, dorm cleaning, bedding, and more.
Kopko told his compelling entrepreneurial story of launching DormAid, which has received a great deal of media attention through its unique business model and challenges launching on the Harvard campus, and expanding it to dozens of campuses nationwide. "It's an amazing business," Kopko shared, "one day we'll be doing a student's laundry and the next weekend he's calling us at 3 in the morning on Sunday to clean up the messy results of a party. It's very fun."
