YUPEEK… TO GROWTH PEAK?
Résumé
Two students, fired with the entrepreneurial spirit, decided to set up a new business during the internship which they were required to complete for the second year of their Business studies course. The idea was to take advantage of their position to attract the students, staff and, in particular, the Careers and Internships Service of their Business School, their local network of professional people and their two families, to launch Yupeek, a company creating and managing a web site which would match supply and demand for student internships. The new company experienced quite a few problems, for the two co-founders, for the shareholders and for the way in which the service on offer has developed. A crucial meeting of founders and shareholders will take place shortly, the aim of which is to look at ways in which the company might develop.
