Moe has worked closely with ConVerge mentors on mapping the growth of his business. He spent the winter months building Moe Mow’s App for iPhones and Android devices that allows customers to request services, schedule services, reschedule services, and pay for services. Moe believes the app will help secure his positioning as a leading lawn service that is both the premium and convenient choice, saving customers time while beautifying their homes.

“Having North Central in our backyard has been instrumental to Tuk Tuk’s growth. It’s been fun to get the students’ valuable perspectives, and the access to them, ConVerge, and the school’s faculty has been phenomenal.”

“Brendon [North Central College student] was such a value to my business. His ability to navigate a world of ‘tech’ that is overwhelming to me. He took on tasks and accomplished them with excellence. I was able to outsource duties in my business that would have just consumed me, and Brendon handled them with ease and professionalism. What an amazing opportunity to be a part of Cardinal Launch to work with future business professionals, that are eager to learn and grow as they prepare themselves for the workforce.”
