College Sports Tickets - Student to Student meet Josh Cohen

Last week I attended EntreFest a gathering of established entrepreneurs along with individuals who have an idea but have yet to launch. There I met Josh Cohen a young man from the Chicago area who has come up with an idea (and soon to be released) app that will enable college students, nationwide, to sell their event tickets to other students.  And, on top of that, make a little money. The application is called Seat Stock and students will soon be getting an email asking them to join.  Have a listen, we thought it's a great idea!  Oh, and while you're here you can click through to his Mom's business Jewels Den.  Both...entrepreneurs.
