Elon Musk's Hyperloop Project with University of Florida's Gatorloop & StartupGNV
Episode description
This week on #whoagnv we spoke with GatorLoop from the University of Florida and Bryan Tobin from Startup GNV, about the new wave of #innovation in Gainesville!
There are many new and innovative opportunities for students outside of campus and places like the Innovation Hub are making it more accessible to budding entrepreneurs. #gatorloop shared their advancements on the #hyperloop project as well as how to deal with failure on such a complex project. They told us the importance of communication amongst a diverse team and how to maximize resources!
