About the team
As a group all four students are Purdue University undergraduates who have an innate desire to start up their own business. They all meet each other in an English 420 class and collaborated together to create the idea and design for Consulitar. It sparked as a project for an entrepreneurship class and turned one of the most convenient ways for a small business to handle technological infrastructure. We have devised a way to leverage open-source technology to deliver integrated solutions. Together we plan to democratize technology so that every human being can leverage the power of technology for their needs.
