What's News

  • The president of Boston University's Entrepreneur's Club described herself as "the last one standing" in an interview with The Daily Free Press.
  • The interview covers her startup, her personal struggles, and her plans for the path ahead.
  • The Daily Free Press is Boston University's independent student newspaper.

The president of Boston University's Entrepreneur's Club has described herself as "the last one standing" in an interview with The Daily Free Press, the university's independent student newspaper.

The interview covers three subjects: her startup, her personal struggles, and what she sees as the path ahead. The student leader, who runs one of BU's most prominent entrepreneurship organizations, did not soften the picture of what building a company while studying has demanded of her.

"The last one standing" is her own framing. The phrase carries the weight of a founder's reality: many who start alongside you do not finish. It is a sentiment that will feel familiar to anyone who has followed early-stage ventures — attrition is the norm, and endurance is often the only durable advantage.

The Daily Free Press interview places her startup story alongside her personal struggles, an editorial choice that reflects a broader shift in how entrepreneurship is covered. Founders increasingly speak openly about the psychological cost of building companies, not just the valuations and the wins. A student founder speaking on the record about that combination — a venture underway and the difficulties behind it — gives the account a candor rarely found in polished startup announcements.

As president of the Entrepreneur's Club, she occupies a position that puts her at the center of BU's student startup ecosystem. The club serves as a meeting point for students building companies, and its leadership typically reflects the ambitions of that community. Her account suggests those ambitions come at a price, and that she has paid it.

The third element of the interview — "the path ahead" — signals that her story is unfinished. She is still running the club. She is still building the startup. She is still standing, by her own description, when others have stopped.

For the BU entrepreneurship community, the interview offers a reminder that the students leading it are navigating the same pressures as professional founders — with fewer resources and final exams. The path ahead, as she frames it, belongs to whoever is still standing when it ends.
