Eric Bunnell is a highly motivated student and start-up enthusiast. He is double majoring in Finance and Marketing at the University of San Diego. To quench his thirst for innovation and creativity, he plans to begin his career in the technology industry, learning from established and successful companies. Eric’s objective is simple: to create products and services that makes people’s lives easier, better, and more productive.
Currently, Eric is the CEO and Founder of Unifyed; a student-to-student network/social platform designed to unify our college communities.
WORST MOMENT
The founding team had a tough decision on the direction. Unifyed started as a classroom productivity tool. After testing prototypes with students, we realized that students really don’t care about being productive. We started pivoting and ran into the case where the founders would have different opinions on which direction we should go.
HUGE SUCCESS
3rd place and honorable mention for best pitch at San Diego Startup Week Ideator Pitch Competition. Watch his pitch in action below!
Entrepreneurial Superpower
Straight excitement, passion, and love for what I’m doing and the people I’m doing it with.
Kryptonite
Getting caught up with emotional ecstasy and don’t even realize that I’m talking for 20 min and didn’t give that person a chance to say anything. He goes Hulk status with his passion and may cause destruction along the way.
IF YOU CAN HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER…
Hands down teleportation.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE OR APP

RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
