The Dawgy app: An international students’ entrepreneurial journey

Eduardo Kaito Alzati Amano fulfilled one of his lifelong goals when he arrived in the U.S. to attend the University of Georgia. Inspired by his father, he knew he had one more goal to accomplish: entrepreneurship.

Alzati, a senior management and international business major, founded Dawgy last year, a student-led nonprofit app that serves as a student marketplace, job listing platform and hub for local deals.

He was inspired to create the app, which features a space for students to buy and sell things, after not knowing how to get rid of some of his old items.
