"Without the resources that I’ve found through SDSU and the Research Park, there’s no way that I would be a business owner as a freshman in college. When I return to the Student Innovation Center next fall, I’m hoping to continue focusing on building a stronger customer base. Although I can’t plan for or predict much else yet, I’m ecstatic to see where Flume might end up!"
