Ventures in Tuesday’s event — which show-cased six different student-run business-es — ranged from a blog known as College Trillionaires, which advises college students in the world of investing, to P’Tones Records, a company that gives underprivileged children the opportunity to learn how to run a record la-bel. The event preluded an upcoming national conference in New York City that will be attend-ed in April by the top 500 student entrepreneurs in the country, and which will include the un-veiling of the best 100 ventures of the group. “The purpose of this [expo] is to provide in-spiration to pursue entrepreneurial ventures and to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of the students,” said Josh Friedman, a sophomore majoring in business and the president of the USC chapter of the Kairos Society. Chris Murphy, a junior majoring in business and co-owner of Shacked clothing, presented his surf-inspired apparel line to the expo attendees and talked about his passion for his company. “When you’re doing what you love, it doesn’t even feel like work,” he said.
