One night Elliot was enjoying himself with his friends at a club in the city. He took out his phone, opened Snapchat, and recorded a funny video to send to others. However, the next morning Elliot realized he forgot to send the video. He watched the video again and realized that he sort of liked the idea of seeing the video the next morning instead of the night before when it happened. This sparked the idea for Elliots app called BackFlash. BackFlash differs from Snapchat because it allows you to take a picture or video and put it into a digital time capsule. The time capsule will hold your footage until the specific time and date you want the receiver of the footage to view it. When the time comes, whether its a day, week, or year, the time capsule will be available to open, allowing your friends to

relive moments that you dont want them to forget.

It is apparent from Elliots experience that anything is possible. Elliot urges other entrepreneurs to embrace their ideas and to stick with their impulses.

Elliot eventually got all the details into place and contacted a developer, who was also a Wisconsin alumni. He pitched him the idea and began working on the app. About eight months later, the app was released and has been doing well ever since. As far as promotion, Elliot does a lot himself through Facebook and other social media. His app was even featured on the history channel for an app showcase.

MAIN GOAL: To connect people who want to work in the investment-banking field to UW-Madison alumni who now work in major investment banking firms.

DIFFERENTIATOR: The Investment Banking Club is one of the more professional-oriented clubs on campus. Were more interested in what happens after graduation, and centered on getting an internship or job.

APPLICATION PROCESS: We have an application, not because we want to limit the group, but because we want to make sure everyone in the club has a good chance of getting a job. We pride ourselves in our success rate of jobs after college, and if we have too many students, there will be less of a chance that everyone gets the job they hope for.

PURPOSE We take networking trips to Chicago to major firms such as JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America that alumni work at. In addition to the trips, we have mock interviews with past students to get used to the tough job searching process.

STUDENT BENEFITS: First of all, it gives all members an idea of what the investment banking world is like, so they are able to decide if it really is for them or not. Second, we do a pretty good job of connecting UW-Madison students with investment bankers to get a head start on job searching. In the past, weve been very successful with students from the club who get a job right after graduation.
